S-L-O-W text entry

[Sivakatirswami]

One cause for typing to slow down is an infinite loop that is sending  
more and more and more messages to the pending msgs queue. CPU gets  
eaten alive.  This may not be your problem, but good to check:

pendingMessages()

in the msg box...

if you re getting back 100's of lines... watch out.
