I was typing a paper that had a complicated formulas and just as I
started typing in the formulas (using W4W formula fields) W4W became
unbelievably slow! Updating the screen took much much longer than it
used to take. It stayed like that for a good while, until I was
convinced that this is the best W4W can do. I tried everything I could
think of but nothing helped. I ended up switching to draft mode, in
which formulae looked terrible.

But after a hours slow painful editing W4W was all of a sudden very
fast again!! With almost no noticeable difference between scrolling
plain text or complicated formulas, and I don't recall having done
anything in particular trying to fix it at that point!! Have anybody
had such a problem before? And if so could he/she tell me what was
going on and how it can be fixed? I hate to have this happen to me
again and not know what to do except to wait hoping that W4W will
all of a sudden become fast again!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
