My cursor lagging is not a small concern. It disrupts the flow between code being re/written and the mental model I'm trying to pour out.

Seems to be something I'm not alone in caring about.

Your comment ties in so very well with an above exchange concerning resultant binary sizes. RAM was once $100 for a MB, I paid $400 for 4MB of RAM.

Shocking, when I look back at it.
