It gave the same result. This time I waited it out. It took 15

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
:)

You win the bet! I put in a line break every 5000 characters. Now it
only takes 8 seconds for the 1,000,000 characters to display.
By the way, the Windows version of OMMs did not have this problem,
even without the line breaks. Running under VirtualPC, the display
took less than one second. (The calculation of the string in the
plugin took about 8 seconds vs. about 3 seconds in OS X.)
Thanks very much.
Bob
