This sounds a little like a bug I encountered in FrameMaker 9. If I used
the arrow keys to scroll, the cursor moved extremely slowly and would
travel at only about one character per second. I'm not sure what the
issue was, but it occurred when the Paragraph Designer was open and got
worse if the Character Designer was also open. The "Hide panels on
Close" setting was the key. Perhaps this old bug has worked its way back
into new code. It wouldn't be the first time with FM.
Anyway, Amit Agarwal of Adobe sent me a fix that worked for my problem.
Perhaps it will solve your problem, too:
========
1. For the problematic workspace, check from Window -> Panels (this shows the
list of open panels, the checked ones are visible panels, others are open but
might not be visible)
2. Click on the para designer.
3. Now, with these steps:
i. File -> Preferences -> Interface
ii. Uncheck "Hide panels on Close" (This option kills a panel on
close,
else a panel would stay open in the background)
iii. Close Para Designer
========

It's definitely pod-based. With 0 pods displayed, I can move quickly through
text using the keyboard and the CPU 1 load won't rise above 5%. However, as I
display more pods on the screen, the load ramps higher, with Character Designer
and especially Paragraph Designer being the worst offenders. Having just
Paragraph Designer displayed and quickly moving through text will spike to 90%+
CPU 1 utilization. With both paragraph and Character designer, it maxes at 100%
utilization almost immediately. Any more than those 2 open and there starts
being noticeable lag in cursor movement.
Since Frame apparently wasn't coded to utilize multiple CPU cores, modern CPUs
with multiple cores/threads are of minimal benefit. What Frame wants is one
ginormously powerful CPU core rather than distributed CPU power. Other Adobe
apps like Photoshop were developed to utilize multiple CPU cores as well as the
GPU horsepower... which is what Frame needs.
Ugh.
