Well, in this particular case, it was a problem of Shout taking >1sec or, more precisely, having Shout enabled causing the typing experience on a slow machine  - a Pi 1 - to be very, very, poor. As in so slow that it was difficult to actually type without getting lost because of the delays, bursts of characters and so on. Only by completely unloading it could I get any acceptable editing experience. Now clearly, a Pi3 with a Cog VM is much, much, faster, so there is no particular practical issue any more.
