ide not himself

[Peter Alcibiades]

It was a (not very good) joke, but it does seriously happen and its not clear 
why.  

Sometimes, the ide slows down dramatically for no apparent reason.  Like, it 
takes a half  or quarter second to type a character in the script editor.  Or 
entering data into a field suddenly slows to a crawl.  If you carry on typing 
normally, the characters back up in the buffer and then continue after you 
stop typing.  Very irritating if you put in too many backspaces for instance.

I didn't bother reporting it since it would probably be hard to reproduce and 
may well be fixed by the wholesale revisions in 2.9.  Very odd.

Jim, thanks for the improvements!
