Progressively slow typing in text frame

i've been reading other threads regarding slow typing in indesign, haven't come across problem experiencing. problem typing becomes progressively slow when typing in text frames, i.e. fast when begin typing in empty frame, text frame fills text, becomes slow.

 

i using 2 types of text frames on each page in document: 1 no styling whatsoever, , other object style including border, 2 rounded corners, , margins. progressively slow typing occurs in second type of text frame.

 

i typing relatively small (7mb, less 300 pages), text-only file no columns, cross-referencing, pasting other applications, linking of text frames, or of other usual culprits slow typing have been reading about. nothing else in indesign slow, including typing in other type of text frame (without borders, etc.).

 

any ideas?

its rounded corners causing slow down.  not sure radius using, having compute how text fit rounded corners more expensive when text frame simple box.  1 suggestion alleviate problem break document chapter don't have end of 1 chapter linking start of next.  when have large number of pages text flows 1 page other, editing text in 1 page means following ones need recomputed.  breaking cascade of changes 1 page next performance.  1 downside you'll have careful , watch overset text or blank pages happening @ end of each chapter.
