komodo high cpu usage on <enter>, <tab> and <delete>

[listmail-3]

I'm having an issue with both Komodo 4.1 and 4.2 where when editing a
large perl script (8800+ lines) where when hitting <enter> to insert a
new line, <delete> to delete a line, or <tab> to insert tabs there is a
1-2 second hang before Komodo responds (updates the screen with the
change).  During this time komodo.exe CPU usage spikes to 100% for about
4-5 seconds.  Sometimes scrolling through the file and using the menus
in areas, such as preferences, will exhibit such hangs in response, but
the previously mentioned is more consistent.

I have disabled everything I can see as being 'automagic', thus
consuming cpu, such as code intelligence, smart editing, and indention
guide features.  I feel like komodo is still doing something behind the
scenes when manipulating the code.  Any ideas?

Dell D600 laptop
2ghz CPU
2gb RAM
Windows XP SP2
Komodo version 4.1.1, build 279677
Komodo version 4.3.2, build 17463

Are there many here-documents in your Perl file?  Any time
Komodo is about to colorize a portion of code that contains
a here-document, it needs to find the start of that here-doc
to determine the end-delimiter.  We use CGI.pm as a benchmark
file, as it consists mostly of blocks of here-documents, and
find Komodo performs fine while editing them.

It would be helpful if you could send me a sample file that
reproduces these delays.

No here-docs.    I was able to *somewhat* regenerate the issue by simply
generating a 9k line file.  I don't know that it is quite as slow *but*
the delay in scrolling (using mouse drag on scroll bar) and editing is
still evident on my end.  I don't have any issue editing CGI.pm.  I
suppose it can be affected by total words, as opposed to lines, or even
multiple multi lined statements.

#create test.pl (use chmod u+x)
#! /opt/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "print(\"This is generated line data\\n\");\n" for (1..9000);

$ ./test.pl > gentest.pl (used unix for speed)

open gentest.pl in Komodo on windows, find some point mid file hit enter
to create a new line, and hit tab a few times.  If no delays are evident
on your end then perhaps have task manager up with komodo.exe
highlighted, during this, and see if CPU rises to 99 and actual
maintains it for about 4-5 seconds.  I imagine you will have more
options enabled than I so if you don't see any issues then I'll agree it
must be something on my end.
