Dear Bernie,

the same performance drop is present under Win7 (64bit, Mathematica
8.0.1).
Even if you distribute your functions to separate cells, functional
programming is about feeding the result of a step directly to the
next, meaning that you might end up with a very complex program that
happens to take one single (though enormous) cell. For me, it usually
happens.
It would be nice to have a palette via the user can quickly switch
syntax coloring on/off for the given notebook. Once I've tried to do
this, though I ended up with a palette that switched off syntax
coloring for every open notebook except the one in focus. Anyone else
made more success?

Istvan
