Default slowing down: Ctrl+S responsible?

Using XP, Word 2002, and having about 15GB of space left on the C drive:
I'm preparing a genealogy-type paper, and I have entered about 150 pages
[920KB] of text,- about 150 pp. of index [10 MB - 3 col.-surname, given
name, page #, gridlines showing]. I frequently use Ctrl+S, and every couple
of days, send the whole mess to E [flash drive]. And I still have to add
about 50 pp of text, and about 30 to index. And the machine is getting slow.
QUESTION: is my frequent use of Ctrl+S responsible for the increasing
slowness - what should I have done - what should I now do to get things
going a little better ? TIA
