I can confirm that it happens only when the dictionary is changed from the default. When I have (require 'ispell) (setq ispell-dictionary "british") in ~/.xemacs/init.el start XEmacs and then activate flyspell mode in the scratch buffer with "M-x flyspell-mode", the problem occurs. Without the line (setq ispell-dictionary "british") there is no such problem.
Nevertheless, the bug is in ispell.el not in ispell :P
Created attachment 47242 [details] packages-cvs-xemacs-sumo-2005-07-15-bugzilla-106703-flyspell-slow.patch Patch to fix the problem.
It's strange but the ispell.el in our emacs package doesn *not* have this bug. the ispell.el in our emacs package is upstream version 3.4, the ispell.el in our xemacs-packages is upstream version 3.6. We did not fix the problem in the ispell.el version 3.4 in emacs, it was already correct.
The upstream version 3.6 downloadable from ftp://kdstevens.com/pub/stevens/ispell.el.gz has the bug.
Fixed package submitted to NOARCH.
→ FIXED.
The latest development upstream version seems to have the bug as well, see: ftp://kdstevens.com/pub/stevens/ispell.el-3.7.gz
