Comment 3 for bug 497094

I can reproduce this on both Inkscape 0.47 stable and 0.47+9590+1+1004 snapshot, Ubuntu 10.04.

Editing one of the main text boxes in the provided file is extremely slow (1, sometimes 3+ seconds delay between typing and display). I have a dual-core and one CPU is used 100% while editing.

When I create a new text box, typing returns to normal speed. After the text length reaches about 300 words I experience the delay again.

Problem is reproducible on a blank, new file. Choice of font or font arrangement (justified etc) does not seem to affect the problem.
