Not a clue what's going on - what Mac and OS version are you using?  Any
third-party extensions or suchlike?  Have you got VM on or off?  RAM
Doubler?

More information might help - mind you, I've noticed that my Performa
475 *used* to slow down quite a bit occasionally for no apparent reason
when I used 7.1; now I'm using System 7.6.1, it very rarely goes slow.
But then again, Eudora 3.1 and Netscape Navigator both *normally* `type
slow'.
