copying large string from clipboard is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[Tom Glod]

Hey Peeps... so I'm stress testing a clipboard tool I have been working on
.....and copying a large key from the clipboard array into a variable (such
as the king james bible from the guttenberg project) takes a really long
time.

like 3 or 4 seconds ....(for each key)

its a large string...but thats crazy.

I'm copying from "the clipboarddata" ... not rawdata or fulldata.

should i report bug? or is there a legit reason why this is so?

thanks for any thoughts
