I will not argue the merits of (potentially) reinventing the wheel
here. But as for the speed issue, bear in mind that SciTE is compiled
C++ code, and Simon's editor is written in Ruby. If AEditor was
written directly in C++, I think it's safe to say you'd see
performance much more comparable to SciTE's.
