I've only seen it in the script editor and turning off live
colorization as well as using altClean to remove all existing
colorizations, seems to fix it. The length of script doesn't appear to
matter, it just happens sometimes (or in some scripts).

So I would be inclined to suspect some other forces at work. Do you
have any rawKey or key handlers running? Any front or back scripts
that are checking every key stroke? If you lock messages, and then
type, is it still slow? Are you running any constantly polling
handlers? Does it happen both in the IDE and in the built application?

Cheers,
