Re: [applekeynote] iWork08 Leftovers

Greeting everyone!
I am a new member and have been creating a project presentation in Keynote '08 version 4.0.22
I am working on an old G4 iMac with an 800 MHz PowerPC G4 processor and 768 MB SDRAM, using OS X Version 10.4.11
Many slides are heavy in graphics and some animations (flip, pop and some rotate).
Even though my slide transitions are set on automatic, with no delay, some transitions are very slow (whether I use "no transition" or "fade through color").
The transitions are even slower after the file is exported it into QuickTime.
The presentation is currently 20 slides and 85Meg.  I intend to make it a QuickTime movie to raise funds for the project.
Is my problem due to a slow processor/not enough Ram?
Please let me know.  Thanks a million!
Poki

Before everyone starts deleting old iWorks folders... Keynote Theme Park 
(and maybe others, not sure) place their third party themes in the Application Support>iWork folder

Yes, it's an old location but every new Keynote version seems to look for themes there. 

Root around before deleting!

I have simply deleted the prior iWorks folders without any ill effects - in all honesty, I kept iWorks 08, " just in case", but it was time to delete the others. Perhaps there is a formal uninstall, but I couldn't find it - there are some support files in your library that you can also get rid of, to clear up some space - (not all that much in reality)

Greetings all,

I just installed iWork 09 and am thus far quite impressed. I haven't 
put it through it's paces yet, but plan to put more time in this 
weekend.

Regardless, I have a question about what to do with iWork 08. I 
noticed after I installed 09 that the 08 folder is still in my 
applications folder. A little more investigation revealed that I still 
have "application support" leftovers going back to the original iWork.

Does anyone have any suggestions or insights as to what can be done 
with these folders? Is it safe to just delete them, or do I need to do 
a more formal "uninstall?" All together they take up well over 1GB of 
space, so I'd like to discard whatever I can.

Any help would be most appreciated.
