Anyway, this csrss.exe problem is independent of the painting 
performance. To convince yourself, put you cursor at the last paragraph 
of the test file such that no formula is shown on screen at all, only 
the text of the last paragraph.
Then begin to type in this last paragraph with 1.4 and 1.5svn. You will 
see that 1.4 is totally unresponsive for a long time while 1.5 will 
insert the characters, albeit slowly.

Another difference is that typing in a new paragraph after the last one 
will not exhibit the problem in 1.5 whereas it does in 1.4.
So, if we don't solve this performance problem, a work-around it in 1.5 
would be to insert an empty paragraph after a big inset. Maybe this can 
even be done at the code level...
