The MPW editor's search procedure is also much slower that LSC's. Take the MacApp "inc1" source file, put a short unique string at the end, position the cursor at the beginning and search for the string. It will take 9-18 seconds, depending on whether the source is in the cache. Do the same with the LSC editor. The search will succeed in about 1 second, virtually instanteously.
