While helping a user diagnose an issue with slow performance of field rendering with large amounts of data (see one post in that thread here: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-l ... 12246.html ), I wanted to compare LC's performance with Apple's TextEdit and made an interesting discovery:

TextEdit doesn't even attempt to calculate line wraps during resize, instead deferring that until the end of resize after the mouse is released.

Could there be benefit to considering a new field property for deferred line wrap?

Has anyone done that in a tablet or phone? I imaging going from landscape to portrait would incur a similar penalty, if you are resizing fields.
