[Bug 529337]

Is it this bug or a more general one that typing in a label is too CPU expensive? 

On the 1 GHz machine typing a character into one of 1500 labels takes
75% even with Karaoke closed. It takes 65% even with one label, but with
one label there is no performance impact. With 1500 labels, no Karaoke,
75% usage, it takes 1 second for the typed character to appear. With
1500 labels, karaoke, 100% usage, it takes 2 seconds for the typed
character to appear.

There is an old resolved bug 406 for label (and other) slowness where I
think the only changes made were to reduce the amount of autosaving.
However that alone made a dramatic improvement. It looks like redrawing
less of the track panel was not attempted.

I note that typing a character in an almost empty text document produces
a 90% spike on the 1 GHz machine. So perhaps this is not really anything
to worry about.

What do you think?

Title:
  Hangs for a long time when editing labels on large files

Status in Audacity:
  Fix Released
Status in audacity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: audacity

  How to trigger this bug:

   1) Create a fairly long audio file (in this case 45 minutes)
   2) Create a label track with a bunch of long labels in it (i.e. transcriptions)
   3) Try to edit the text in one of the labels, preferably the first one

  Audacity will freeze for quite a long time.

  Actually label editing has a bunch of problems but this one is
  particularly bad...  It turns out that the code that's responsible is
  the "experimental lyrics window", which can be shown when you choose
  "Karaoke..." from the View menu.

  You can easily disable this "feature" by commending out the
  EXPERIMENTAL_LYRICS_WINDOW line in src/Experimental.h, which makes it
  possible to edit label texts.  But I'm sure some people out there
  actually use it...
