I really like using kile but have noticed that as text lines become longer, the key response becomes very slow. Clearly the progam has high CPU demand at this point because the fans on my laptop come on. No other editors (e.g. nedit or emacs) seem to suffer from this problem.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Can you run Kile from the command line and what the output on the command line as you use Kile? If you see lots of output, the package was compiled with debug support, which slows down the app considerably.
Btw, the syntax highlighting is completely rewritten for version 1.6. Hopefully the problem is gone for version 1.6. If the problem is not with the syntax hl, well, I have to think hard what could cause the problem!
best,
Jeroen

I have seen slow key response when the version the program is compiled with a different version of Qt then then currently running one. So maybe you can compile kile yourself and test it again.
And also notice that Redhat doesn't have good Kde support since the bluecurve migration.

I have seen the slow response problem ocurring when using the Redhat 9 rpm version and also the compiled-from-source version (both without debug support). I switched to the latter in the hope that the problem would go away. Actually it seems worse - perhaps it is indeed a Redhat issue as Rob Lensen suggests.
I look forward to trying out version 1.6. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Processing (or actually displaying) the messages does take alot of time, if you hide the Output view, you would notice a significant speed improvement.
I don't think the slow key response is related however. If the problem does not go away for version 1.6, please let me know.

Can you tell what version you are using? Probably the syntax highlighting is responsible, but I'm not sure.

I'm using version 1.5.2 installed from the RedHat rpm.

I have also noticed that latex translation (ie. pdflatex running)
can be 2 or 3 times slower than in a Konsole.
I found that the reason is the processing of the output of these commans in "Message/Log file" window takes enormous time.
I am pretty sure about the root of this problem is the same as the slow keyboard response, isn't it?
