Markdown everywhere

Has performance improved at all? I tried it years ago and while it was *very* attractive, I found it unusable because of severe input lag. It would take almost a full second from the time I hit a key until the character was displayed on screen. I’d test it myself, but my PC is under a heavy load at the moment and will be for another day.

It should run fine once I finish with the task at hand since I now have a six-core multi-threaded processor, but that kind of power shouldn’t be necessary just to run a text editor.
