11.0. "Throttled!" by INTER::JONG (Steve Jong/NaC Pubs) Mon Oct 16 1989 15:45

    I'm feeling a bit throttled today...  Is it just me, or is this an
    Interleaf behavior?  Try this:
    
    Put the text caret at the beginning of a paragraph.  Press MB3 and
    slowly drag to the right.  The text is selected as you go.
    
    Now, put the cursor back at the start of the line and press MB3.
    Try to drag *quickly* through the text.
    
    On my system, and on Janice Sahagian's too, the cursor lags begind, as
    if the selection speed was being throttled.  It's like dragging a bucket
    through water: the faster I go, the greater the "resistance."  It's
    frustrating!  I feel like it's only letting me work so fast, and no
    faster.
    
    Have you observed this, or can you recreate it?
