These messages are from the enchant library that the spell checker plugin
uses, so step one is to disable that plugin in the plugin manager and try
again.

Looks suspicious, lets try the disable of the spell checker :)

I suspect (without a great deal of evidence to date) that this is from the
tree browser plugin, but I doubt its the cause of the slowdown.

Thats what is supposed to happen, the ctrl-c just interrupts it and throws
control back to gdb, freezing the UI.
