Can you post the tet in your text box here?

So I reran my tests using the contents of post #37 in THIS thread:

Using your dictionary took 13 seconds, using the smaller Firefox dictionary took 6 seconds. I am running on significantly older equipment than you are so I am sure that is part of it.

When you perform the spell check do you take each word, and the compare it to every word in the entire dictionary?
