In 5.8 SP 1 102133 (and maybe the one I used before, I'm not sure) entering text into some text areas is painfully slow—maybe if the text box is linked to some kind of JavaScript counting the characters or similar. For an example, browse to http://www.iphoneblog.de/2008/07/07/...in-osterreich/ and try entering text into the text area at the bottom.
Strange thing is: I just tried that again myself, and the responsiveness was normal. I did the same about ten minutes ago when I sent in a formal feedback on this issue, and it was extremely slow (like taking more than second until the several typed characters appear altogether, then a second again and so on). This is a G5 on current Tiger, here.
Anybody else experiencing similar stuff?
It might have sth to do with OS X having to swap back stuff into the memory: On this machine a backup script runs every night that takes up loads of memory, resulting in all apps that have been open over night responding painfully slow at first until the needed memory pages are all swapped back into the RAM. The strange thing is, though, that when OW runs smoothly again, some text areas are still painfully slow, others not: I tested the the Wikipedia search field before sending in the feedback, it was normal; the text area of the abovementioned page was slow. Before I tested this for the feedback, I had entered a whole load of text into another slow text box, so all needed components should have been swapped back to the RAM already, shouldn't they?
Anyway, this behaviour wasn't present prior to the 5.8 SPs. Does anyone else see it?
Best regards,
