This only started happening after the 'update' that included editing by multiple users. As I am the only user that should have access to this account, it is a bit concerning when at random times, a little red cursor with USER:xxxxxxx appears next to something I have typed. At other times, the cursor is blue with my user name on it. This all occurs while it is taking the note several minutes to 'accept' the entries or changes I have made. The Modified Time remains at '5 minutes ago' or 'May 10' or whenever the last time it deigned to update the note...
I will try your suggestion, gazumped, to see if that improves the performance. Thank you for your response.
