Can you launch Activity Monitor, sort by CPU usage & see what's running that's gobbling CPU? & can you at least try a little bit to spell, at least to the point where your post is legible?

(tip: command+semi-colon in Safari spell checks)

DWG format is an autocad specific proprietary image format (see http://www.geocities.com/kuyunjik/
for more information).

Not sure WHY saving it as .DWG would create hundreds of files with no end in sight.

Sounds like you definetely have a corrupted file to say the very least if it keeps creating .BMP
files all over the hard drive.

What version of Mac OS are you using? What version of Illustrator?
