Description
When the GroovyConsole appears on the screen after startup, I have to wait a few seconds before I can start typing. And after that delay typing is always slow. Characters doesn't appear as fast as I'm typing (and I'm not a world champion in speed typing 
).
$ groovy --version
Groovy Version: 1.6.5 JVM: 1.6.0_17
$ uname --all
Linux dan 2.6.30-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Wed Nov 4 22:28:57 GMT 2009 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I have this problem too. The characters lag when appearing on the screen and can't keep up with the typing. CPU goes to 100% after starting to type and stays there until all the characters have appeared.
If I type "// " then typing on the rest of the line is OK (still high CPU and a minor lag, but usable) so I think this is a syntax highlighting issue. A P4 2.8 GHz is not the most modern of processors but it should certainly be enough to cope with a code editor...
