Yes, I believe the code that has been so problematic has been mostly
rewritten, and is now in much  better shape.  It is possible that we
could disable "Grab focus on objects when navigating", and "Use Orca
caret navigation".  I don't know what causes delays in Orca when
navigating large web pages, but I do think we need to improve the
performance if possible.
