| Apr 8, 2015 at 13:16 | comment | added | Neil Strickland | I do not find that the formatting is slow, but it does create a very annoying kind of flicker. I generally stretch the answer box so that the formatted answer is invisible below the bottom of the browser, which cures the problem for me. | |

| Apr 8, 2015 at 3:29 | comment | added | Joel David Hamkins | I almost always compose my answers and questions in a separate editor, and then copy/paste into the MO field just before posting. | |
