Hi Birthe, Tony -- everyone! You've all been very helpful! I think I know *what *is causing the problem -- but I don't know *why*.
There's a view template (WordTemplate) used to expose the en field. The contents are typical for templates: <$list filter="[all[current]tag[Vorto]]"> Eng: <$edit-text field="en" tag="textarea" rows=2 class="vorto-edit" /> </$list> Add this to Tony's version (tagged with $:/tags/ViewTemplate) and it will immediately bog down about the same as mine (maybe slightly faster, since the template isn't being styled). This follows the standard recipe for view templates. Tiddlers themselves are built from view templates (or at least the UI we see are built from templates), so why should this short bit of code cause problems> I suppose I could jettison the template for this particular project, but I'm sure there are other projects where having a view template for tiddlers will be very important. Ideas? Thanks! Mark On Thursday, September 19, 2019 at 9:19:37 PM UTC-7, Mark S. wrote: > > My project may have been over ambitious.
