For the past few weeks I was getting an interesting problem on G&T, but it seems to have solved itself.
Basically anytime I was writing a post, it would lag after a few letters were typed, only to fill in the rest of what I typed a few minutes later. Led to some hilarious spelling mistakes, but it was pretty annoying. Would last anywhere from 5-25 seconds. I'm using the latest version of Opera, and the problem seems to have fixed itself, but I did think it was interesting.
I've been getting something similar, also with Opera, but I'm not sure if it's a site issue.
What I've been finding is that the page loading kind of "hangs", usually displaying "Images 0/0" in the status bar, sometimes for quite lengthy periods of time (All the images seem to load fine, though). I've noticed it mostly because I tend to use middle click panning to scroll, and it goes jerky while it's doing this.
With text boxes, I wasn't getting any text appearing at all, until I hit stop, when it would all appear at once.
I'm also not so sure its purely a browser problem, as this problem doesn't happen on any of the other forums I visit. It also tends to only happen in G&T so it might be something to do with it being such a high traffic area.
Assuming we're talking about the same problem, neither am I. I get it intermittently and across several sites, though it's possible there's some common factor I'm missing.

It's very odd.

I've made a little game of typing out my entire post while it sits there, and seeing how many spelling mistakes show up when it finishes typing.
The weird thing is the cursor will actively blink, so nothing is locking up.. it just appears that Opera is buffering the keystrokes..
