My email number is nowhere near such an amount (about 2000 in total 
across 3 different G Suite/Gmail accounts). I have set everything now to 
‘plain text’, so no MD preview and the reply just plain text, but 
alas, no change. Even without the preview, I type faster than I’m 
seeing the characters appear. It’s also not like the message I’m 
replying to is so large. It’s not like it’s unworkable, but it’s 
also far from pleasant :)
Updating to the latest beta release (5656) from the latest stable (5655 
I think) also doesn’t change anything.
