The actual problem is not the insertion of text -- it's TextMate's  
reparsing of the whole file afterwards. Its scoping system needs to  
do it, whereas Xcode's syntax highlighting (which is also a few  
orders of magnitude less complex/powerful) can often get away with  
only reparsing what's on the screen right now.

TM is slow when processing very large files. It's a known problem  
(although not that important if you ask me).
