I have the same problem (Word for Windows going very slowly - say 30 seconds
to update a page) in my paper incorporating a lot of maths including symbols
and formula fields. It seemed to happen less frequently when I reduced the
number of fonts, broke the paper up into shorter segments, and removed
some of the bars and other things on the screen that I didn't need. I
am using ATM and I can't remember whether I had the same effect before I got
ATM.
Because the effect is unpredicable it is difficult to do experiments on what
helps or the exact circumstances.
I have 4 mb of memory, a 386SX (and coprocessor). It was W4W version 1.0; I
have just upgraded to 1.1 and don't know yet whether the problem persists.

The problem is now at a managable level but I would still like to know what 
is going on.
