I have implemented FT#-free zones in the band segments in my ini file - helps a bunch!

Check out the Reverse Beacon Network 
at <http://reversebeacon.net>, now 
spotting RTTY activity worldwide. 
For spots, please use your favorite 
"retail" DX cluster.

Are they using CW Skimmer or Skimmer Server?  Facebook?  Where?  They should ask here.

Failure to exclude FT8 (and FT4?) frequencies from RTTY and CW spotting should help reduce the "decoder counts," which is the main cause of high CPU utilization.

Or by "slow down", do they mean the horizontal waterfall of CW Skimmer moves more slowly?  That sounds like a video driver issue.

I have seen about 5-6 recent comments on Facebook from hams successfully running CWS without problems in the past but in the last few months, they experience major "slow down" of CWS .  Does anyone know the source of this problem? The primary symptom is decoding capacity reaching 100% even in low activity days. One person said they recently increased their RAM from 8 to 16 and then to 32 gigs but the slow down still happens.  System resources reported by Windows do not indicate CPU or RAM is close to maxing out.   It cant be related to any CWS updates, so I am wondering about Windows updates.
