Title:
  Slow to refresh screen while typing with 'Highlight Misspelled Words'
  switched on

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When 'Highlight Misspelled Words' and syntax highlighting are switched
  on and I am working on a moderately sized LaTeX document, there is a
  delay of a second or so between typing text and the screen updating to
  show the typed characters.

  However when 'Highlight Misspelled Words' is switched off, the program
  is fast and responsive.

  This is a problem on my older desktop (Intel Celeron 2.66GHz with
  gedit 3.2.1 on a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10, running openbox
  (Lubuntu desktop)) and also my netbook (1.3GHz atom dual-core). I
  think it might not be noticeable on faster computers.

  Thank you. Apart from this little snag, gedit is a really great
  program!
