 I'd be interested in the "why" also. I suspect it's not giving back
 memory that was in use prior to save.  I've simply become accustomed to
 interpreting the Low on Memory, Close Windows and Save message as
 Save and Quit Word. 

 It's a pain, but quitting Word and restarting seems to solve performance
 problems.
