slooooowww typing in fields

[Sivakatirswami]

Confirmed here. I do the same thing often -- lots of text in single  
field... but when I say "a lot" let's be clear: we are still only  
talk about 10-14 k worth of characters. This mysterious "slow down to  
a crawl" also occurs to me and this is on the latest Apple powerbook:  
10.4.2 1.67 GHz PowerPC with 1 GB of ram...
