R Editor - syntax coloring

First, of all the new R-2.1.0 looks great on the Mac. It upgraded effortlessly and I am hoping to be able to try it out on Tiger later today, assuming the Police haven't cordoned off the Apple Store in London! However, I have come across a problem. The new syntax coloring option in the R Editor preferences looks great, but on large R script files (mine is 500 lines) slows the refresh down incredibly. Each key stroke take several 10's of seconds to action! It seems like the colorisation is redone for the whole file on each key stroke? I am running R on an iBook G4 800MHz with 640Mb and OS X 10.3.9 -- those of you lucky enough to have a G5 might not notice any problem!
you can disable coloring from the prefererences
As an aside, I note that R participates in Version Tracker but the version number comes out as 1.10 not 2.1.0. I understand the rationale for the Mac GUI having a version number of 1.10 but this is very confusing. Either way the current version should be at least consistent on Version Tracker.
the version shown on version tracker is 2.1.0 http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10661 as this is R for OS X binaries. On top of R there is R.app, the GUI, whose development varies at different speed (we have daily building thanks to Simon) If you mean the version tracker utils: it could probably be due to the fact that they take versioning information from the R.app signature. I'll try to understand what's happening as I physically do the update every time stefano
