Does a line with just a few word also see the problem?
Indeed, it clearly seems to be a line length problem. Is there anything that can be done about that? (Apart from working without "live" spell checking ...? :)
Only the obvious things like hard wrapping lines to keep down the length etc.
[...] If I post the same text in WriteRoom (for example) I can edit even the longest paragraphs without any noticeable delay (with spell checking).
Basically all other text editing applications use NSTextView, which doesn’t run the text through the spell checker as often as TextMate, likely because they knew the performance of said checker couldn’t handle that on older hardware ;)
I haven’t decided yet if I want to address this issue, as it shouldn’t be a problem on current hardware, and being lazy about when to spell check what is a lot of messy code, and on that note, NSTextView didn’t get it right (last I checked), i.e. it can occasionally end with a word shown as misspelled or spelled correctly, even though it is the opposite.
