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

Problem

Solutions: The WordPerfect /R startup option is designed for increasing speed by loading WP's overlay files into expanded memory. When using Microsoft Windows 3.0, this switch is not the best option for speeding up WP. Using this switch can cause problems for some users when under a Microsoft Windows environment. Some customers have also found that the speed does not seem to increase unless they were running on a network.

The best way to increase speed when using MS Windows is to use a disk cache. MS Windows comes with a file named SMARTDRV.SYS. This file can be used to increase the cache size and the /R switch is not needed. This information may not apply to all users.
