I don't notice any difference of speed (I'm on Firefox 3.5.2, btw.) It seems that the editor works as an iframe in the document (that's how FCKEditor (now CKEditor) works, too). The DOM traversal to add elements can be slow, I guess. I haven't read the source code (I'll take a peek at it later) though.
BeSpin bypasses the issue of DOM traversal by implementing *everything* in an HTML <canvas> element: http://ajaxian.com/archives/canvas-for-a-text-editor. It's basically drawing directly on the screen, so it's *very* fast, save for some bugs/issues.
