insane time to comment out hundreds or thousands of lines

[Dr. Hawkins]

I have been waiting now for over ten minutes for this round of commenting
to apply.

My main script is something like 15k lines.  At the moment, I'm
sequentially blocking out large parts for a stripped down stack for a bug
report.

This last round, I think I applied comment to about 2k lines at once.

And so it sits here, at 100% load..

I suspect that this is comping about from repeated move/insertion links.

Instead, it should probably test the number of lines selected, copy to that
point, append each line after that  to be commented with the comment
prefix, and then pend the rest, only then returning to the original
container.

I've had long waits before, but this is insane.

And it appears that if I hit enough breaks to stop, it would gibe me a
partially commented out result . . .
