PageMill slowness

PageMill slowness

CNET staff
I have found that, when using PageMill, the longer I leave it open and the more I use it, the slower it gets. This is especially evident in opening files, doing a Find or doing Check Spelling - and sometimes even when simply typing text. The problem is especially annoying when doing a Find or Check Spelling, as these processes (a) are modal (that is, I cannot click out of PageMill into another application while the beachball is spinning) and (b) cannot be canceled (pressing Command-period or whatever does nothing). As a result, I have often had to do a Force Quit of PageMill in order to break out of a Find. When I relaunch the program, speeds return to normal - at least for awhile.
The fact that my pages have so many tables on them seems to make this problem worse.
