I've never had much of a problem with the PIM. I've got my ram set to
3000k for word. If I've got a lot of citations, and the document is
slowing down, turn on the show graphics placeholder. Works like a charm.
Keep the document size down, by tunring off fast save, and/or
occassionally using save as. It's been stated that the PIm is not compatible
with word 6.

From the windows side, Word 6 has some great features, but it can be a
real dog (but it's nowhere near the dog Wordperfect 6 for windows is [6
megs of ram]). I'm going to assume that the EN plugin to word 6 is going
to use OLE 2, which is a good notion of small tools for different tasks,
but OLE2 is slow. I wouldn't wish it on anyones 68030, or 386.
