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
:)

Does Apple's profile "Shark" confirm Jon's guess?

Putting in the line breaks confirmed his guess.
