[PD] [text] memory usage

[Peter P.]

Just found out that the large CPU and memory use only happens when
the text editor window is open. Otherwise adding thousand or so lines
works fine. Interestingly I can then still undo each of the thousand lines
by opening the window after they were inserted, so the undo mechanism is
working per se.
