Very (very very) slow typing for Mathematica in large cells.

I have some functions that are very long and complicated and which
take up many lines of a single cell.  For one particularly long such
function it can take about 3 second for EACH new character that I type
to appear in the cell.  What ends up happening is I go type a
sentence, wait a minute for it to appear on screen, then go back to do
whatever editing of my typos.  Needless to say this is a bit
aggravating.  I expect it is related to the various syntax checking
features that Mathematica now has.  Features that I otherwise really like,
actually.

Does anyone know of any work around, or if this is only present on
WinXP?  I have this problem in both 7 and 8.0.0, for both 32 and 64
bit windowz, I believe.

Cheers,

Bernard
