That sure is strange. Even in a small window (around 80x30), mc took
about 1s to render for me. Just typing in the last row makes X consuming
around 20% (on a 2.6ghz core2). The strange thing is, typing in the
first row only needs 6%.
This problems seems to be related to the radeon video driver, cause it
not happens on my Notebook, which has Intel graphic. I will test it on a
nvidia soon.
