Summary: 

Sam Chin@acf4 asks why WordStar sped up when he hit the '1' key during
a massive search-and-replace mission.

Actually, this sorta is in the documentation, Sam. The slowness of the
^Q^A function can be attributed to the amount of screen I/O as it first
displays the 'found` string, then replaces it, and then moves merrily
onward towards its weekly meeting with the Unknown.

When you hit a space (or any other character actually), it merely stops
displaying the screen changes until it runs off the bottom.
