per-keystroke hit there ? so perhaps having it easy-to-enable but
disabled by default would make sense.

How large is the hit? Has anyone measured already? Personally, I
can't really perceive anything when comparing writing with the Word
Count window open v/ without it.

It seems to me to be an issue of how one implements the word count statistics collection. Are the word count statistics constantly kept up-to-date via a incrementers/decrementers per key-stroke? Or are they only collected upon request?

From a brief and unscientific test of copying 10MiB of copy and paste text into a Writer document, waiting while it paginates to 2250 pages, then timing how long it takes for the Word Count dialog to give results, it would appear the former: every keystroke /already/ calculates the these statistics.

Thus, my first un-educated guess is that this should have very little performance impact.

Cheers,

Kevin
