Has anybody figured this one out?  I just updated to Ubuntu 9.04 and
I'm seeing exactly the behavior Ron describes.  Typing in a file tag
(not a column tag) takes a noticeable amount of time per character --
varying between maybe 200ms and 1000ms by my guess.  Sometimes I get
the same delay in win and directory window tags, sometimes not.  In
any case, typing in the window body is fast.  Also, resizing the acme
window takes far too long -- maybe a couple of seconds.  I think the
time is linear in the number of files I have open in acme.  Somebody
asked whether writing to acme/n/tag was slow as well -- it doesn't
look like it.  Acme's still usable, since most of my text entry is in
window bodies, but it sure is a pain.

Thanks for any help anybody has to offer,

Micah
