Dear Bernie, the same performance drop is present under Win7 (64bit, Mathematica 8.0.1). Even if you distribute your functions to separate cells, functional programming is about feeding the result of a step directly to the next, meaning that you might end up with a very complex program that happens to take one single (though enormous) cell. For me, it usually happens. It would be nice to have a palette via the user can quickly switch syntax coloring on/off for the given notebook. Once I've tried to do this, though I ended up with a palette that switched off syntax coloring for every open notebook except the one in focus. Anyone else made more success?
