Any settings that would slow typing to > 1chr/sec?

[Jonathan Dzoba]

Typing seems egregiously slow, greater than one second per character. Are there any settings that would cause this?

Nope. Sounds like your CPU is busy (Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then go to details and sort by CPU descending). It might be NPP itself (doubtful), it might be a plugin (possible), or it might be something else that’s running (probable).

Hello, @jonathan-dzoba and All,

Refer to a similar problem, in the post, below :

May be, it will help a bit :-))

another known issue is to have a really big one-liner and try to edit it.
Scintilla, underlying component Npp uses, isn’t really performant in such cases
as it wasn’t designed to do so.
