 616 q2c28 B4.
 > can you reproduce this?
 Yes.

 Boot.  Open Browse.  Open Write.
 Add 120 characters, arranged in 4 lines.  I used "1..901..901..90\n etc "
 Start pressing Keep.
 Normally they take ~2 seconds.
 Around press 20 I saw the occasional Keep take longer (~3 or 4 seconds).
 Sometime around 40 it took much longer, and mouse and refresh became slow.
 Tool tip "Keep" display took several seconds.  A Keep took ~20 seconds.
 Subsequent Keeps were worse.  A couple of presses later, Keep took ~1
 minute.
 Went to Home.  Found Browse gone.  Returned to Write.  Performance back to
 ~2 sec.  But that lasted only ~3 clicks, before hitting the ramp again.
 Pressed alt-= to check memory usage.
 Nothing had yet happend by the time I finished writing this ticket update.
