There is still some optimising to be done in the View beta. The speed of a
large editable area is one one of them. Currently, if you reduce the area
e.g halve the height, you will get a more reasonable edit speed.
This might be an indicator of the improvement to come, in the experimental
version of BeOS I find that a large screen edit is faster than std native
BeOS editor. So I'm waiting to see if this improvement will be the same
across all platforms with the next beta release.
