Is it this bug or a more general one that typing in a label is too CPU 
expensive? 

On the 1 GHz machine typing a character into one of 1500 labels takes
75% even with Karaoke closed. It takes 65% even with one label, but with
one label there is no performance impact. With 1500 labels, no Karaoke,
75% usage, it takes 1 second for the typed character to appear. With
1500 labels, karaoke, 100% usage, it takes 2 seconds for the typed
character to appear.

There is an old resolved bug 406 for label (and other) slowness where I
think the only changes made were to reduce the amount of autosaving.
However that alone made a dramatic improvement. It looks like redrawing
less of the track panel was not attempted.

I note that typing a character in an almost empty text document produces
a 90% spike on the 1 GHz machine. So perhaps this is not really anything
to worry about.

What do you think?
