RE Video Player LiveCode on Windows

[J. Landman Gay]

I don't think this is a player problem, it's a script editor issue. The 
slowdown has been reported before, mostly on Windows, but yesterday I had 
the identical problem on Mac. Editing slows to a crawl until finally the 
IDE locks up and you're forced to force quit.

To avoid losing work, restart LC when you see the editor begin to be 
unresponsive. That's not a great solution but it solves things for a while.
