- I am using the July beta on an XT clone. Working with a very large file (a
- subject bibliography created in NB3.1) with many point size changes I
- noticed that the cursor slowed to a crawl. In lines set at PT 14 or larger
- it would sometimes take a second to move each space or to move up and down
- a line. Regularly repeated deleat or backdelete strokes would outpace the
- cursor, often leading to the loss of too many characters. I agree that
- NB4 seems slower, at least in complicated files.
