What makes it feel slow/broken? There is a small delay when typing between when a key is pressed and when the character gets added to the screen. When typing slowly, it doesn't matter so much, but if you're typing fast the delay is significant. Did it prevent you from doing what you wanted? Why? After typing a certain number of characters, it becomes impossible to judge what has been registered and what hasn't, and I have to wait until all the characters are rendered before I have the confidence to proceed. This also affects if I made a typo. I don't know how far to back up until I wait for all the characters to render first. The result is a poor overall typing experience in which I am constantly guessing, waiting, and getting frustrated. How does this make you feel? [ ] :) I feel happy about it [ ] :| Meh [X] :( I'm upset [ ] >:O I'm angry Device: Unagi, Nov. 22 Nightly. Details: There is a split second delay (~200-500 ms but that is just a guess) per letter typed. This adds up and if you type 10+ letters in rapid succession, you have to wait for all the characters to render. On our reference platform (Otoro running ICS 4.0.4), there is no delay. You can type as fast as you want, and you never have to wait for it to render the characters. See Videos. Bonus: can you attach a video of the problem? Yes
Delay adds up over time, you have to wait for the characters to render.

If I remove the key highlight typing feels very smooth. Seems like we need to fix that.

Nominating for basecamp-blocking+. Typing quickly and accurately is a core interaction that must be as performant as possible.
