I checked the behavior in r129 and I found that one to three GC occur
with every key press in the revision.  This seems to causes the
massive slowdown.

With r128, GC occurs once per 20 to 55 key presses.
With r146 (I now updated from r134), it occurs one per 4 to 11.

Isn't it related to memory usage of the interpreter and the plugin
system?  r146 has usable responsiveness for me, but it is still slower
than r128.
