Why _DebugOut is Sooo Slow

[BruceCopperField]

I used _DebugOut() to write some debug messages to notepad. However, I found that it is very slow. The notepad displayed just a few characters per second. Did I make any mistake in using this function?

Setting $bActivate to True slows down the output of the debug message significantly, but is required if another window is activated during your script.
