I've mentioned typing speeds in the past. I never found that the draft speed setting really changed anything one way or the other. Maybe it makes a difference on Mac but not on Android.
Just testing now, and setting it to 60000 doesn't seem to impact the speed with regular editing nor inside a form box. Is there anything special about your TW file? Have you tested on an empty ? Good luck!
