Hi Aaron, Thanks much. I've only tried this on one system so it could very well be something specific to my system. I do have defrags scheduled weekly. I'll have to try some other things and see where it gets me.

I'm using the TripleTalk USB, and as I arrow up and down the list, I'm experiencing no more sluggishness than I am with any other synthesizer. Interruption seems normal to me. One thing about the documents folder is that each time you select a file, the bottom pane of the explorer window populates with data about the document (name, date modified, author, tags, size, title, etc.). If your drive is running slow, due, say, to the need of a defrag, or something like that, it could be taking that extra second to scan the document for this meta information. So I would recommend doing all the standard computer maintenance tasks, such as updating drivers, scanning for drive errors, defragging, etc., and see if your problem continues. I honestly don't think this has anything to do with Window-Eyes.
