OK, will try to do later this weekend. Was going to check the bidi
settings first as the changing of the default for bidi mode and the
merge of 7.7 occured quite close - probably within the same update for
me. I am a daily org user and had not noticed any performance issues
with 7.4.

Need to wait until my work completes the current major system update
outage to get access to my large org file that I want to test with.
Should be able to do this tomorrow.

P.S. I did notice no significant performance problems with very small
org test files. It would seem you need to cross some size threshold
before you notice the performance impact.
