I am have been seeing this for a while now on only one of about 8 
org files that I have, specifically the longest one which also has the 
most babel snippets (of pretty long sql). This behaviour is present on 
an Ubuntu VM with a scant 300Mbs as well as a Mac Pro with 6Gbs 
(although less of course). On the Ubuntu, I specifically see the CPU 
spike when typing! Very bizarre.
