Breaking Lines
ATSUI provides two functions for calculating and setting soft line breaks
programmatically: ATSUBreakLine and ATSUBatchBreakLines.
Calling the function ATSUBatchBreakLines is equivalent to repeatedly calling
the function ATSUBreakLine, as shown in Listing 3-4.
Its preferable that you use ATSUBatchBreakLines because this function
performs more efficiently than repeated calls to ATSUBreakLine.

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.
