What vintage is your phone? What version of TW are you using? There are size/speed improvements in 5.1.20.
I tried your test on the full downloaded TiddlyWiki.com page on my 2012 era samsung phone. The speed of course was slow, but it was the same for the edit box as for editing the tiddler itself. In either case, the upper limit to typing was my ability to use the tiny keyboard. You probably know this already, but be sure to not have your "recent" tiddler opened in the sidebar. Good luck!
