Gradual slow-down for users

I have been experiencing (and getting reports of) sluggish performance with my Storyline modules.
These days I publish exclusively in HTML5 but I had the same problem being reported when we used to use Flash. I see the same problem out of Storyline 2 and now out of Storyline 360. I also have had the same problem on two totally different LMS platforms.
It is particularly noticeable when typing into text boxes - words come out v.e.r.y s . l . o . w . l . y - one character at a time.
Perhaps of note: The slow-down seems to come on gradually and is alleviated by leaving the module and returning, or by refreshing the page.
Does anyone have any tips for speeding things up?
Thanks in advance.

It's also worth noting that the slow-down seems to be affected by time, rather than progression through the module. eg, if I open the module and then walk away and make a coffee, by the time I get back the module will be very sluggish to respond. On the other hand, if I quickly whizz through the slides I can get through the module without it slowing down as much.
Thanks, good idea. I am trying that out right now.
Turns out that it works perfectly in SCORM Cloud. I am now following up with LMS helpdesk.
Curious that I have seen the same problem on Moodle and Matrix LMS.
Thanks Matthew. It feels like perhaps some sort of resource limit slowly gets approached and then hit.
I will post back here if I get to the bottom of it.
Thanks Matthew for the assist - and please keep us posted Simon. I know there are a lot of users who utilize Moodle so I'm sure the resolution would be one that would help them as well!
