InDesign 2.0.2, Windows 98, VERY SLO-O-O-W

[[email protected]]

I am working on a 400-500 page document, mostly text with a few tables in Windows 98, ID 2.0.2. I am doing corrections and changes, and it has gotten so-o-o slo-o-o-w! Sometimes I have to wait a count of five to make a small word change, before it appears. I have done scan disk and defrag, have removed Saved Data in ID, and tried everything I could think of, but nothing works.
This is taking forever, and should be a much simpler project. I'd appreciate any other advise anyone can give me. I have also removed a lot of fonts, in case that could be the problem, but it didn't help . . . much! Need help on this quickly as the project should be finished by the end of August.

What are you complete system specs?

Split the document to chapters, or bunches of 32 or 64 pages, and then use
the book function. Please keep in mind that when you alter the text in a
textframe or in a texframe connected to each other, all the following text
will change at least in position, so it is clear it will take time for ID to
work on. Also it would be interesting to read your system specs like Bob
mentioned, I doubt it is an actual computer because of the usage of Win98.
