The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: WordPerfect 5.1 is much slower in all respects than 5.0. 5.0 takes 5 seconds to start up and 5.1 takes 28. Solutions: I have spoken with a programer about the speed of WP 5.1 in comparison to 5.0 and received the following explanation: "Due to the fact that 5.1 still only requires 384K of free RAM to operate they have to swap many of the overlays, and menus to disk instead of leaving them in RAM as was done in 5.0. This is because of the changes and added features made in 5.1." The programmers are looking for ways to enhance and speed up the program. Specific requests are requested.
