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

Problem

Symptoms: WordPerfect 5.1 is running a lot slower than version 5.0. From a clear screen, the user created a one-page document in 5.1 sent it to the printer. From the time the printjob is sent to the time it was completed, the process took 1:03 to print in WP 5.1 and 40 seconds to print in WP 5.0 (printing to a Citizen 120 D printer).

Going into List Files in WP 5.1, it took 23 seconds; in WP 5.0, it takes about 3 seconds (there are 75 files in WP 5.1 and 85 files in WP 5.0). Booting up version 5.0 takes 7 seconds; booting up WP 5.1 takes about 10 seconds. He is concerned that WP 5.1 is running too slow. Solutions: Routines to increase speed (e.g., faster program startup) would be an enhancement to the program. The customer will pay for an interim release if the change is made.
