In a master document with many (20) included child documents, a few
things are slow and I just wanted to get a feeling for what's expected
and what might be worth digging into.

Context: the master document is a document "all lectures" and it
includes the individual lectures (each one is a LyX beamer document).
Each individual lecture is about 20-30 frames, and I make extensive use
of custom layouts and lots of insets and branches.

Case 1.

What is _not_ slow: typing and backspacing characters. This is super snappy.

What is slow: if I select a few characters and then do backspace, it is
slow. From my perspective, what is the difference between backspacing a
few times versus selecting the same characters and doing backspace?
Actually I would expect the selection+backspace to be optimized.

Case 2.
What is _not_ slow: cursor movement with keyboard (even moving in and
out of insets).

Also what is _not_ slow: clicking with mouse on different places of the
master buffer as long as the new location is in the same inset as old
cursor.

What is slow: if the cursor is in, for example, a note inset, and I then
click outside the note inset, it takes a second before the cursor is
placed (and if I do the opposite as well).

Anything worth looking into?
