[orca-list] orca is very slow in a specific application

[jose vilmar estacio de souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi all.
First of all sorry for the long message.

Every day I have to fill my time sheet.
It is  an internal web application and has one line for each activity 
performed during the day. each line consists of seven fields, which must 
be completed.
The problem is that orca reacts very slowly when I press the tab key to 
jump to the next field. This is especially noticeable in the last field, 
which allows me type any text. depending on the amount of characters 
typed in the field, I have to wait about 10 seconds after pressing the 
tab key to orca announce the next field.

Maybe I am wrong, but I suspect that the problem is caused by braille 
generation.
here are part of events received and processed by orca for each 
character that I type in the field.
