J,
That was not my point. This issue doesn't apply to me.
Instead of "you", read that as "one".
I was surmising here that the lag problem reported by other people
here may be caused by the new editor, and was guessing that could be
tested if those people type some form of data entry on the site that
does not go through the editor.
I understood that.
I was assisting in that effort by listing places where one can enter text without using the new (TinyMCE) editor.
In Plain Text mode the New Topic and Reply composition boxes are such places. In fact they are particularly good test cases as they are in the same page context as the new editor would be - a minimal difference comparison (very few differing conditions other than being the new editor or not).
