The issue of slow text input is already known to the developer and ROD,
they have done some tweaks to try an improve it.

Have you looked at how much memory is being used by Iris and associated
bits. Just looked at the tasks window and it using 100+K plus Shared
Libraries over 116K and that while it is just sitting on the icon bar.
It will be your biggest application on your RISC OS machine.
You do not say which version of Iris you are using I am on v1.028
The ARMX6 is considered the minimum spac RISC OS computer for use with
Iris, faster machine like the Pi4 (4te2) running at 2 Ghz are better, but
does depend a lot on the site and how much junk is being downloaded in the
background from any given websites, the more tabs or Iris windows you have
open the more speed can be impact.
Remember we are only using one core of the processor.
