It gave the same result. This time I waited it out. It took 15 minutes for that one line to complete.
I'm betting that REALbasic is spending all of its time in a call to ATSUBatchBreakLines, which provides the calculations for soft-line breaks. The worst case scenario is a line with no words that must be broken into multiple lines, especially with a non monospaced font. While I haven't tried this, I would hope that Apple might optimize the case: does it work any faster if you use a font such as Monaco?
I doubt there's much we can do to optimize this case. You might consider adding some line breaks or spaces in your generated string :)
