A difficult question:
There often seems to be a short (but annoying) ~0.2- 0.5 sec delay each time I do something in IQ, e.g. Alt-7 to add a bullet.. Ecco is much "snappier" with "0" sec delays.
I am using an older 4 -core i5-760 CPU (@ 2.80 GHz; 8 GB RAM)). Would I need a faster CPU to make it as snappy as Ecco..?

Responsiveness has improved tremendously over the last few years, but IQ cannot compete with a program written in 1993, designed for Intel 80386..., so yes, a fraction of a second for some operations is expected if you have an older system.
 
To be fair, you must compare it with more recent programs (MS Word, Google Chrome, etc). Is IQ significantly shower than Excel or apps in Chrome for example ?
 
That said, more improvements will come too !
