Very Bad Memory Usage

[justin023]

I have this problem that happens a lot in the script editor window. When I type something really long like a string or an array, it starts slowing down really bad. I looked at it with the task manager and when I press a single key the cpu usage goes from around 2% to 100%. The letters show up about 10 times slower than I type them. If i typed a lot it will stay 100% until they are all done showing up.

Doesn't sound like memory usage to me. Sounds like a horribly inefficient algorithm is being used to implement syntax highlighting -- like a linear search over a set of keywords for every single token in the file maybe?

I have problems with this too, and I can't bear to go without syntax highlighting (because I use it to make sure I entered a command correctly - I am a scripting inept and have many problems with this kind of stuff).

I have never experienced the problem, not with the latest script editor, could you specify what system you are using?
