For some reason when I type anything, the letters c.......o.......m.......e.......o.....u.....t..... l.....i.....k.....e......t.....h.....i....s.....

It's so bad that I could type the entire ... part before the "m" even showed up. I notices the smileys get really jumpy as I type like they are competeing for bandwidth. Any way to get rid of them orturn them off?

This slowness is the only reason I have not posted much before. Any help would be appreciated.
