I might add, that that disabling View/Markup solves the groaning CPU problem
(in fact that's what I'm doing, keep switching the "view markup"), but then
of course you can't see the changes and I still believe that tagging changes
to new text is, at best, unnecessary.

navigating on the page brings my reasonably fast PC to its knees with word
pushing it to 100% CPU usage. It takes 1 second to jump just 2 characters
using the arrows.
