Testing if typing lags behind within either a math or a caption inset. If the delay is acceptable on a PPC platform we can ditch the wide() hack.
I just tested on 800 MHz PPC Mac with an unpatched, post-beta1 version of LyX (again with Qt-4.2.3). There was a noticeable lag when trying to enter text as fast as I could, even when not in an inset. It could just keep up with me when typing normally. I did not notice that insets were any slower than normal text.
My guess is this is probably the slowest Mac for which LyX will work reasonably well. I guess also that ditching the wide() hack will be a problem in this case. My inclination, therefore, would be not to ditch it.
