I don't know why, but every time I've used Microsoft Office, I've noticed a text lag that's incredibly annoying. Its a blank document on a fresh install of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and I have almost three gigs of RAM available. The lag seemed to improve for awhile, but noticed that it has come back. I'm not sure if its an OS X problem or an Office problem.

Seems to have some improvement when disabling a lot of functionality, namely spelling and grammar check and live word count.

Word and Excel are the only applications that really show this pattern of behaviour. Powerpoint I never use other to watch class presentations, so I'm never typing in it. Is there anything else I can do to speed it up? Is there going to be another patch to improve functionality?
