Before you try anything else, run a Virus Scanner. I don't think that's
the problem, but there's nothing to lose.

Do you load any 3rd party extended memory or disk swapping drivers in your
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT. e.g. QEMM or suchlike, because I think there
may well be a driver conflict somewhere.

A good guess would be your disk caching software, as it seems like the
writes to disk are being delayed for quite some time.

It may be that the conflict lies completely outside Euphoria, and two
other things in your system are "having a fight" and poor old Euphoria
gets kicked.

Good Luck with the problem,
Carl

In my last few days on the net, I have room for a witty quote. Irony. :S
