So your new code is not worse. Then, what could be done is have redoParagraph keep the old list (in a oldrows struct) and for each new row created set a 'clean' flag if it is identical to the old one (meaning there is no need to redraw). It will not work exactly like that (because there may be several redoParagraph calls between screen redraws), but the idea should work and avoid the signature. the clean flag should probably be a ticker of some sort to be able to say: "this is the same row as was painted by screen draw number 1456". >> I am not sure I understand your argument about insets containing >> text.

I am sure there is some cursor/iterator helper that can tell you whether cursor is in some inset. >> 20 seconds down to 8-9 seconds Martin> Great news! I think this is the way to go then. Indeed :) I won't have time to try it out before Monday, unfortunately. JMarc
