I have to agree.

I love OW dearly, and I'm too bloodyminded [1] to swap back after  
buying it, but I get _so_ sick of waiting for it to do things.

I bought a copy for my teenage daughter, and find it very hard to  
answer her continual questions about why OW is so slow on our G4  
desktop.

I don't know. Yes, it has a lot more features, but would they really  
make it so slow to load?

It would help to know.

Speed is certainly a killer issue right now. Time is money: in my  
case, time is capacity, and I have very little of it.
