Sorry - I have to take back my remark on the page-down issue below. I
thought I saw that yesterday, but today that particular behavior
hasn't happened again... the delay in leaving math subscripts by
cursor key is still observable, though.

Is that when typing on toplevel text or inside insets?

Hi,
I can confirm this slowness. I installed LyX 1.4 from the binary
installer on a MacBook Pro (Intel processor) so LyX is running in
a processor emulation called Rosetta. This amplifies the
sluggishness, which is bad for me but good for seeing directly
where LyX is being slowed down. E.g., when I use arrow keys to move
into a math formula, then I can press the down arrow multiple times
until LyX finally moves out of the equation again. The buffered
arrow key events then cause the cursor to slip a couple of lines
down before LyX comes to a halt. The worst slow-down appears when
the cursor happens to be in a sub-level of a math formula, such as
a subscript. It can take about one second to get out of a formula
environment (which is an unacceptably long time when you're in the
flow of typing).
Another issue is that the scroll bar on the LyX window doesn't seem
to work properly. Clicking on areas that usually create a page-
down, I just get a line-by-line scrolling behavior.
Finally, my issues with screen fonts for special math symbols such
as \iiint are still unresolved (bugzilla bug 2326) in 1.4 binary.
Regards,
Jens
