I've been wondering this for years: why does my Mac sometimes respond
sluggishly to my typing?  I can't see any rhyme or reason to this
occurence: it just seems to happen every now and then.  The only
constant is that it never happens soon after system startup, so it seems
to be related to the computer having done a few things, or been on for a
while.

Right now it's happening as I type this in MacSOUP; it's also doing it
in SimpleText at the moment, and also in Netscape Navigator 3 where it
seems even slower.  The fact that it *does* happen in NN seems to rule
out TextEdit as part of the problem...
