Autocomplete slow

Question

G'day
When one keys in a partial tag, one can press CTRL-SPACE to complete the tag, eg typing:
<cffuCTRL-SPACE
will complete the <cffunction> tag. Cool.
However it takes CFB about 1-1.5sec to actually react to this, during which time if one keeps typing, the tag is never completed.  And to be frank, I could have simply typed the rest of the tag name in less time than that.  So using this feature makes for very stilted development.
I would expect to be able to type this - at full speed without any pausing for CFB to work out what it needs to do:
<cffuCTRL-SPACEnCTRL-SPACEmyFunctionRIGHT-ARROW acCTRL-SPACE puCTRL-SPACE RIGHT-ARROWoCTRL-SPACEfaCTRL-SPACE RIGHT-ARROW hiCTRL-SPACEHere's my hint
and end up with:
<cffunction name="myFunction" access="public" output="false" hint="Here's my hint">
However I just get this:
<cffu n myFunction ac pu o fa hi Here's my hint
(or something like that, you get my drift).
Are other people finding this tag too?  I don't think my machine is under-spec'ed for the task here... it's quite happily running Open BlueDragon, CF9, MySQL (+ MySQL Manager and Query Browser), Tomcat, Apache, Firefox, Skype... [etc] simultaneously, and none of them seem to be slow.
Another thing related to this (kinda).  I have "automatically insert single proposals" (or whatever it is) switched on, which is quite handy.  However when I type in:
<cfsavCTRL-SPACE
I might expect to get this as a result:
<cfsavecontent variable="|">
(Where the | is the cursor).  Because <cfsavecontent> has only the one attribute option, and it's required.  It'd be good if CFB was savvy enough to grasp this.
Comment?

Answer 1

Isn't that just the delay for the automatic code completion?  I mean as opposed to triggering the code completion with CTRL-SPACE as I am doing.
It's difficult to tell, but I guess it could be slightly faster when I decrease the setting from 2500 to 100.  Although it could be because I am editing  amuch smaller file than I was last week.
However I am uncertain about this remedy because it's certainly not taking 2.5sec to do the completion when I press CTRL-SPACE, so I do not see the connection between the setting value and the delay here.  Plus it makes no sense to add a delay there anyhow: it makes sense before anything happens automatically (and it drives me up the wall when CFB tries to help me when I type without me asking it to); but it makes no sense for there to be a delay after I've explicitly keyed CTRL-SPACE to tell CFB "complete this please".
I guess once I get back to my project work (in the larger files), I'll pay more attention to the completion speed.
Cheers for your suggestion though!
