Script Editor Performance

If you're lucky, making adjustments (disabling real time protection mode 
or whitelisting LC and its filetypes) to your Anti Virus (such as 
Windows Defender) may alleviate the symptoms of this problem. That works 
in most but not all cases. Also turn off most of the "auto" features 
such as coloring and autocomplete and real-time compile in the script 
editor. See this bug:

And if applicable, add your own CC and note!

Notice the bug title is misleading, because (as I found out after filing 
the report) Macs sometimes have the same symptoms. Which platform are 
you using?

If you're not lucky and tweaking (or changing) AV doesn't do the trick, 
or if you're on Mac, please consider attempting a reliable recipe, 
because that has proved elusive. At the moment I'm no longer able to 
flip a setting on my computer to cause the Anti Virus obvious 
exaggeration of the symptoms on Windows, but eventually when I have some 
time I may attempt a recipe for Mac.

 > Which version of LC are you using?

I'm one of the lucky ones with greatly reduced symptoms after changing 
my AV, so using LC 902 an 901 on Win 10 and Mac, also LC 6.7 on Win 10 
and Mac for some work.
