it's really interesting that somehow this is accepted. machines with multiple GHz can't do this, but it's ok?!

all the time ;) but every other sane UI toolkit is also capable of this.. Tk, GTK, Qt, FLTK, ... no single one has input box lag. only the web can have it and it's not considered as a "burn it down and rewrite everything" bug. nobody could do that anyway, the engines are too complicated :)

funny that something ripped out of KDE (KHTML) which was written by people in their spare time got so ultra complex after apple and google touched it..
