Growing Pains for new SuperCard convert

[kevin]

Dear Community,

I am a long-time SuperCard user who is currently in the process of 
migrating to Revolution. I'm having a bit of a problem converting a 
SuperCard project over to Revolution. First off, I'm using the latest 
Mac version of Revolution which I have yet to register, and am working 
on a 1.42 GhZ G4. I have a card script in SuperCard containing approx. 
40,000 lines of code. I copied this into Word and then from Word into 
the corresponding card script  in Revolution. It took 42 minutes to 
copy it from Word to Revolution. Now, when I try to edit this script or 
do anything in it (even closing the window), it pauses out for about 
20-30 seconds. Even if I type a single character, I will get the busy 
cursor and have to wait around for it. So basically this chunk of code 
is virtually unusable to me.

The interesting observation for me is that I have a Windows laptop 
sitting next to me with an 867 MhZ pentium 3 that has an older 
registered version of Revolution on it (specifically 2.2.1). I was able 
to copy the same exact 40,000 lines of code on the Windows box from 
Word to Revolution in less than 10 seconds. The code in here is 
completely editable and features none of the same latency problems.

I'd really appreciate your feedback if anyone has an idea on what is 
going wrong here. Is the Mac version of Revolution just that much 
slower?

Thanks for your help!

Kevin
