I am in the same position as Caroline in that I too have been asked to
demonstrate TMG over a three day period next year, and know that a lot of
people are going to comment on the speed I might try and borrow a faster
machine for the period. My existing PC has a slower CPU than Caroline's
and when I had the auto-relationship tag and accent feature on things were
painfully slow. Turning those features off helped immensely but alas the
whole thing is still very much slower than Ver. 4.0d. By then I may have a
new PC but I do not have any intention of transporting that anywhere.
