Hi,
Editing a LaTeX file seems particularly slow on my powerbook, even for a relatively small file (a mere 200 lines). Every time I enter a new character, the editor freezes for like 1/10 of a second... Has anybody experienced the same kind of pb?
Regards,
Emmanuel
I experienced this and fixed it by closing as many windows as I could in other apps.
Hope this helps.

Are you working with "Spell Checking as You Type"? If so, that might be the cause. Working 1st generation 867 Mhz 12" PowerBook I've got the same problem. The only "solution" right now seems to turn off spell checking while actually typing.
I've brought this issue up on the list a few month ago but IIRC basically Allan didn't feel like investing any time/work because modern Macs are so much faster that it's not an problem there. It's a bit of a bummer for users who cannot afford to buy a new machine every two years or so (and for a text editor! ;).
As far as I understand, it's not really a "TextMate-only issue" for the actual spell checking mechanism is provided by OS X.
And to be fair, back than I also gave (the than brand new) BBEdit 8.5 a whirl to see if things are better there -- and they are not! BBEdit behaved just as sluggish as TextMate with live spell checking ...!

You mean ‘for a spell checker’, which I did not write, so blame Apple for this! :p
As for performance though, I am most likely going to re-run the spell checker only on the line fragments resulting from soft wrap in 2.0, which should scale better.
Theoretically this is not ideal, because for example in Danish we have borrowed “words” like ‘ris ala mande’ (a dessert) where both ‘ala’ and ‘mande’ are not danish words, but the 3 words in succession should not be marked as misspelled -- I say theoretical, because there is no Danish spell checker, and according to Dansk Sprognævn, it is risalamande (just one word), but there are many of these examples.

Tks for the tip, it's indeed much faster without 'live' spell checking.
