We've recently upgraded from VAX WordPerfect v5.0 to v5.1 and are experiencing severe performance problems with this new version of WordPerfect. Most of the functions are considerably slower than in v5.0 and some are painfully slow ie. spell & search. The v5.1 new features ie. tables & equations, are great, but response time becomes unacceptable on larger tables eg. for tables larger than approx 10 columns by 50 rows. The official answer from WordPerfect is that this is a known problem on some Vax's. They have no specific recommendations to make but say the problem will be addressed in the next maintenance release! We are running VAX/VMS v5.4-3 on a lightly loaded MicroVax 3600. I would be very interested to hear from anyone in the same boat who can shed any light on the problem. Or better still, has found a solution to it. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Steve Royle | | | Dept. of Biomathematics & Computing | Janet... | | Paterson Institute for Cancer Research | BMCSGR @ UK.AC.MAN.CR.PICR | | Christie Hospital & Holt Radium Institute | | | WITHINGTON | | | Manchester M20 9BX | Fax: 061-446-3109 | | U.K. | Phone: 061-446-3147 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Work supported by the CANCER RESEARCH CAMPAIGN | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
