In Rev 2 (all versions that I've tested), pasting text is very slow,

something that came in with Rev 2, near as I can tell: paste 90K of
unstyled
text into an empty scrolling field in Rev 1.1.1r2, it happens in a wink
(actually, 23-25 ticks, ie less than half a second). In Rev 2.2, it's
more
than 10 times slower - on average 5-6 seconds. Rev 2.6 appears to be
even
slower, timed at an average of 6-7 seconds, but that may be an
artifact of not
much testing.
This is the script I've used in the multi-line message box, filling my
clipboard from BBEdit to get a constant supply of non-styled text.
put empty into fld 1
select text of fld 1
get the seconds
domenu "paste"
put the seconds - it
I've also put this in a button displaying to a label field, and
confirmed that
it's not (sadly) an IDE-only effect - times are the same in a standalone.
Can anyone confirm if this is a Mac-only phenonemon, or whether it
happens on
Windows also?
Tested on WindowsXP with a 400 K file (Rev 2.6 and Metacard 2.6.5) with
zero delay in both cases, so it seems to be a Mac-only effect.
I tested with both IDEs as a number of processes run considerably slower
in Rev, e.g. for some imagedata functions I get a consistent slower
performance of about 33% inside Rev (including version 2.7.1).
