Hi Mark, What vintage is your phone?
It's a fairly recent midrange Motorola. What version of TW are you using? There are size/speed improvements in > 5.1.20. I'm using the latest stable TW version (5.1.21). 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. Thanks for having a go with the test on mobile. Have you modified the TypingTimeout value before testing? I'm having a "native" (no lag) typing experience when editing a tiddler after setting the value in $:/config/Drafts/TypingTimeout to 60000. By default, this value is around 400 (ms), which results in a noticeable lag in my case, so just wondering. You probably know this already, but be sure to not have your "recent" > tiddler opened in the sidebar. Yes, I do :). I have it disabled across the whole wiki.
