I had the same problem. The fix that worked for me is: 1. Open the Appleworks folder and find the AutoSave folder. 2. Open the AutoSave folder and delete all the items that you find in it. 3. Find the Starting Points folder in the AppleWorks folder and open it. 4. Find and open the Recent Items Folder which is in the Starting Points Folder. 5. Trash all the items in the Recent Folder. 6. The slowdown problem should be alleviated. 7. If this works, periodically go through the above steps every month or so, depending on how often you use AppleWorks.
