I agree that efforts should be made to ensure that the 7.x script editor is
at least as robust and performant as it is in 6.x or earlier. I was more
trying to address concerns about progress towards the "new IDE".

My feeling is that work beyond dealing with 7.x regressions (and I include
performance issues in the regressions category) would probably be better
spent on a new script editor.
