A friend of mine is having problems with running WP for extended
periods of time on a Mega ST4.  She has GDOS setup using Neocept's
driver for and HP DeskJet+.  After about an hour of heavy usage, the
whole system slows down to a crawl (consistently) and all menu
operations/dialog boxes etc. take minutes to process.  Does anyone
have any clues as to what is causing the problem?  Her documents
aren't terribly long (about 12 pages each).  It seems like the system
is bleeding memory somewhere since getting out of WP to the desktop
and coming back into WP doesn't help.  It requires a full softboot to
fix things up.  Could it be TurboJet, the GDOS driver?  At this time
she is only using WP so she can live without GDOS being installed.
