Excluding Sigil and its program and working directories from the antivirus made no difference. There are no cloud services at all installed. I have two other computers in the house, so I tried those as well. One is a Windows 8.1 laptop and the other is a Windows 7 desktop (both with a different antivirus installed). Both computers show the same behavior, with increasing memory usage and slowdowns. I am beginning to suspect that either I use Sigil for longer sessions than most users, or else something about the regexes I run are using up system resources. At this point, if no one else is having trouble, I am willing to concede that it is something I am doing. Also, it is not really a problem for me to close Sigil and reopen it, because that sets everything back to normal and I can continue working without problems for a while. Thanks for looking into this. If I can help in some other way, I'll be glad to try; otherwise, go have yourself a beer and stop worrying about this.
