Hi,<br>I&#39;ve been using kate for years as my primary code editor for php, css, html, javascript, bash, etc.<br>Ever since 4.6 was released, kate has become unbearably slow.  For example, when I type some code on a new line, it can take kate&#39;s buffer anywhere from 1-5 seconds to &quot;catch up&quot; with my typing and actually display what I&#39;ve typed.<br>
I know this isn&#39;t unique to one machine, since I use kate on 2 different hosts (one running a kate 4.6 on fresh install of Kubuntu 11.04 and the other running Ubuntu 10.1).  Based on various blogs I&#39;ve read, it looks like a lot of other folks are frustrated with kate&#39;s sluggish performance as well.<br>
<br>I haven&#39;t bothered submitting a bug since your bugs database already has a few submissions regarding this problem.<br>When are you planning to address this?  Two of my colleagues at work have already abandoned kate because of it&#39;s abysmal responsiveness and I&#39;m close to doing the same; but I&#39;d rather not.  Performance issues aside, kate is the best code editor I&#39;ve ever used and I really want to keep using it.  But at this point, kate&#39;s sluggishness has interrupted my workflow so severely that I&#39;ll be forced to abandon kate if these performance issues aren&#39;t addressed soon.<br>
<br>Please tell me that there&#39;s a light at the end of the tunnel here!<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Thanks,<br><br>Steve<br>
