thanks stani i actually had an incling that 2. was the real problem. 
i've got probably 200 or so clases in my project and it was pausing 
mainly when it came to names of things or a .
i changed it to on clicked and it's fine now.

it still does something else though that i'm at a loss to fix. when i 
open a file or run a script is throws up errors saying "Failed to 
display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding"

i guess thats a problem with those bottom info windows?
