This is precisely what I would expect to see... what surprises me is
that you would experience a subjective slow-down.

Another whole-screen refresh.

Beats me: there's nothing strange in what I did that would explain it.
Typing one character... just what we expect to be repainted. One main
doc row (containing the current inset) and one current-inset row.

OK, word wrap changes the height of the middle inset, which triggers a
full-screen redraw.

So, what precisely is slow? According to the above, the initial
entering
of the inset in preparation of typing. Not the typing itself. Is that
correct?
Initial entering of the inset is not particularly slow. And I'm now
unable to replicate the slowdown with typing. So, just ignore this as
random noise....
