Stephan,
Unfortunately I spoke too soon. There was improvement, then it slowed to a crawl again. Worse than before if anything. The speed of the cursor is still inversely related to the length of the paragraph.
Here’s what I have:
(base) tgarrett at tims-mbp ~ % python3 -V
Python 3.11.4
(base) tgarrett at tims-mbp ~ % which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3
For the PATH prefix in preferences:
/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

And I presume you’ve selected the option to install it for your user only. This setup I wont test for you and I recommend to switch to an installation for all users (aka on a specific disk). I don’t know if it work for you.

I’ve sort of tolerated it because I mostly collaborate now rather than writing myself — getting old and rusty. For collaborations I use Overleaf though I still prefer LyX.
