Hi Sam,
 do you think you can handle me the document (or a faked version) for me to 
test and perform some profiling onto. In my opinion large delays should not 
happen unless the document requires intrinsically a whole new typesetting at 
each small change, for example when there are no line or page breaks. So I 
would tend to think that it is some misbehaviour of TeXmacs. It could also due 
to the still not perfect handling of the keyboard events in the Qt port. Have 
you tried with the X11 version?

Best
