Testing if typing lags behind within either a math or a caption

I just tested on 800 MHz PPC Mac with an unpatched, post-beta1
version of LyX (again with Qt-4.2.3). There was a noticeable lag
when trying to enter text as fast as I could, even when not in an
inset. It could just keep up with me when typing normally. I did not
notice that insets were any slower than normal text.
Wait... do you mean that typing within a math inset is not slower
than within normal top level text? If it is not slower then we the
trouble we're having with the wide() hack is not worth it.
I'm not following you here. As I understood it, it's not slower
precisely because of the wide() hack; prior to that hack, typing in
insets was *much* slower.
Right, this is precisely the reason why I've asked you to test within
mathed or the caption inset where this hack is not used. If typing
within caption for example is the same as within normal text (or within
Foot note which uses the hack) then we don't need the hack anymore.
By the way, is there anything special about math insets here? (I've
been testing with footnotes, LyX notes, etc.)
Yes, see above. I hope I am clear this time. Sorry for being so laborious...
