Do you happen to have bug report numbers for these pauses because they can 
probably be fixed? I’ve recently done some work on two functions of the script 
editor that had quite inefficient and roughly 10 year old code. Indenting and 
searching entire stacks for strings will be *much* faster in 8.1. Searching all 
stacks and their stackFiles in the the IDE (something I do multiple times a day 
at the moment) has gone from a “get it going and go and get a coffee” thing to 
a “get it going and quickly look to see if you have any new email” thing.

Both of these huge improvements involved taking much more care with things that 
would require parsing entire blobs of text to add or extract one line. 

Cheers

Monte
