Package: writetype
Version: 1.2.130+bzr139-1
Severity: normal

Hi, I just saw this appear in debian unstable. Sounded cool so I
thought I'd give it a shot.

But I'm surprised to see that it can't keep up with my rather
average typing speed (60-70wpm). I even turned off the auto-suggest
thing and it still couldn't keep up.

(By not keeping up I mean: after I type a sentence, I have to wait
a few seconds for the rest of the sentence I typed to appear on the
screen.)

And this is on a fairly decent desktop (dual-3Ghz intel with 3GB of
ram.) I shudder to think how long I'd have to wait on my netbook.


Thanks,      - Jason
