Oh, that's not a problem because list is sorted and I nailed it 
into scrolled window. So no problem finding needed word.

I'm just wondering why I see only two kinds of speeds of 
filling the list: fast and very slow, with no intermediate. 
There are no fillings which are some seconds long.

BTW, if I *prepend*, not *append* to the list, will it reduce the time
to O(n)? Is it possible?
