Same here Tony.

Really! Just tested that I my machine, and it took 20 seconds for the
suggestion box to pop up! I'm not that quick on the keyboard but at
times even 'moderately fast and accurate' struggles to keep up.

Point taken, but the delay can be a little frustrating at times. For
me the checker is the slowest of all those I've used. A small and
minor niggle, in what is an otherwise excellent mail client. Perhaps
it's the exceptionally high standards that TB! sets in all other
respects that highlights this very minor point for me.

Hhmmm... yes an oversight. I have now added the info to my reply
