Thank you for your clarification. I guess that I can try running a utility that will clean up my Windows Registry, to see if I can shave a few seconds off a file save.
Thank you.

Re: Saving file slow under Windows 7?
Hmmm, interesting discovery!
I copied my HTML file under another name. I selected and removed my block of Javascript (jQuery) code, reducing the file size from 427.16 Kb to 122.75 Kb. With this reduced HTML file, saves take no more than one second, if that. I pasted my Javascript in a JS file. Saves of this JS file take around two seconds.
If my Windows is interfering with file saves, then the size of the file should not have anything to do with it, correct? By splitting the file in two, the sum of the individual save times is much less than the single-file save time.
Question: Is it so that WeBuilder processes the contents of files before starting the save procedure?
The reason that I kept my Javascript code in the main HTML file during development is to avoid having to always close my browser to prevent caching of the included JS file.
By the way, once I had selected the large block of text and pressed the Delete key, the program took around 10 seconds to delete the block of code.

Re: Saving file slow under Windows 7?
Interesting development and we are getting into an area of WeBuilder that is well known to be an issue. Long lines of code, that is, thousands of characters within a single tag are not handled very well and in the past WeBuilder would slow to an absolute crawl if this type of coding was used. Breaking up long lines helped immensely but was not always possible, especially with complex scripting (PHP/Javascripts) and the fact your .js file is embedded is obviously not helping things in this regard. The later builds have had significant changes made to handle this behaviour but you may be uncovering something not foreseen by the developers (maybe all of us 'testing' it do plainer html-based coding than you). If you like (or can be bothered) and there is nothing sensitive in the file, post it here or email it to me (PM for my address) and I'll try the same thing here and see what flows.

This sounds reproducable. I'll pass it to development team and if they can reproduce it then they can surely fix it. Thank you!
