Hi Bruce.. 

you should not be seeing this behaviour at all. Its always been pretty
quick and with 1.1.5 you shouldnt see that issue at all. Its not saving
to disk every key stroke.

Of course there are many factors involved here, but I'd suggest you
upgrade to 1.1.6 or cvs as then we are at least on the same starting
point in terms of Scribus. Then we can start to work through the rest.
