(Just added the following to bugz..) Now I've seen the speed-up happen with opening the Outline. It seems to be specifically related to resizing the document view within the main window, not only resizing the whole thing.
Also, resizing can result in slow-downs too. This is probably why I usually notice a slowdown straight after opening the Outline. It's probably just luck as to whether it gets faster or slower. Have fun, Darren
