Transcript writing is slow in VisualWorks and VisualAge as well and neither uses Morphic.
My usual workaround is to cover Transcript with another window to avoid the redraws while the heavy activity is
happening. I suppose this would work in Morphic as well.
This seemed good/simple enough that I never cared to "fix" it.
