I can tell you my reasons: because it's not bundled, and as result
suffers from being not quite up-to-date with the latest developments
in the modern spellers (see my previous message).

Yes.

Try customizing flyspell-duplicate-distance to a small value, perhaps
even to zero. I have found this minor and easy-to-give-up-on feature
to be one major reason for slowdown.

But what Speck does has its downsides as well: if you are a fast
typist, you can be quite a few words after the mis-spelled one, before
the timer fires and the mistake is marked as such. By contrast,
Flyspell shows the mistake immediately after the word is finished, so
you can easily correct/retype it. TANSTAAFL.

Another thing that "just works" with ispell.el and Flyspell.
