Notes slow down SW

I've noticed that adding notes to a drawing can cause ahorrific slowdown any time you hover over the note or need to dosomething with it. The text within the note is not selectedinstantaneusly but rather slowly and one letter at a time. There'snothing you can do but twiddle your thumbs until the slow selectionprocess is done. Any work-arounds?
