... which isn't "very convenient" to say the least, especially since  
TM doesn't seem to have a build-in hard wrap option (unless I'm  
missing something). Also I find hard wrapping generally uncomfortable  
and undesirable for texts which are (re)edited many times.

Sadly right now it looks like I won't be able afford a new Mac for at  
least another year or so ... :(

Well, if you could make this an item on your agenda, I'd be very  
thankful for sure.

I'd rather take the "normal" miss-checks the standard NSTextView  
sometimes produces than the severe speed problem I'm experiencing  
right now! (And, believe me, severe basically means unusable with  
spell checking ...)

Thanks in advance!
