Thanks, Jacque, Dan, Ken, Sara and others.

Several subscribers seconded my concern, so I guessed it is a common 
"issue." I guess it isn't, now. Maybe it's a heterogeneous issue. I'd 
assumed it was a Rev issue.

When it happens to me, other applications seem to work normally. I've 
never seen any other application bog down like that on my machine, 
actually.

Quitting and restarting Rev seems to solve the problem. It happens 
surprisingly often. I've also noticed that auto colorization slows 
down text entry in large scripts, but this is a different issue.

I've seen the slow keyboard response in tab-on-return fields 
containing just a few words, at times.

In reply to Sara's question, I don't have any key handlers running.

I do like "throbbing" buttons. I even wish I could make them throb in 
other colors, throb at other rates, or at least not all in synchrony, 
and so on. Stupid wish, huh? Probly a bad idea anyway. They do eat up 
CPU activity, but seem to share the CPU very politely. Nevertheless, 
I will try de-throbbing a buncha buttons. Maybe that'll be the trick 
in my case. If anything fascinating happens I'll report back.

Cheers,


Tim
