For short columnar edits, it's not really perceptible, but if you make columnar selection of a mere 1500 lines or so, you'd notice a very noticeable lag. Now some of this could easily be that I do almost all of my work on a G4 500 powerbook. But it's still VERY slow.
Now, more seriously, I know that my selection length was rather extreme. But it took about 5 minutes or more for TextMate to catch up when I had typed in the 4 characters I'd wanted to replace ('None' It was python).
Wow, yes... don't try this at home :p. I did it with a 500-600 line selection, and it was extreme. After 30 seconds ago the computer also started swaping heavily, as TM was using over 550MB of real memory (and a vsize og 1.22GB)... this usage persisted across the undo's I did to remove my column typing (which went at a more normal pace). Then, when I wanted to quite TM it went 'busy wheel' for about 5 minutes, still using cpu and still swapping before going away. Actually... hasn't gone away yet (7 min) :-p.
