This is especially true if you use large fonts like the AdobeMingStd. It should slowly be getting better over time, Hans and I hope. We try to optimize for memory use as well as directly for speed, because less memory is often faster also. However, premature size optimizations tend to cause problems later on, and therefore progress is slow.
