Mono-D and Eclipse DDT both have major problems with long pauses while typing

That doesn't surprise me.
I really do highly recommend Sublime Text. It was created by a former game dev,
and he really, really cares about performance. I've opened binary files in it
that are hundreds of megs and it doesn't even flinch. Just loads it up, and then
you can scroll through it or jump around at full speed with no pauses or
momentary glitches. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Back in the bad old DOS days, there were many code editors that worked
instantly. No perceptible delays at all. I find it ironic that today, with
machines 1000 times faster, some vendors consider it acceptable to have 15
second delays.
