Can you give us an idea of how fast your connection to the server is? What kind of network? Platform/OS? What version of Cream? Also, are the line lengths very long?

I'd be curious to know if behavior improves if you turn off syntax highlighting.

Let's see if we can figure out what feature is responsible for the slowness.
