Unfortunately, it is. The auto indentation is not optimized for this 
case. You can avoid the pause by disabling "Reindent new lines after 
paste" on the global options page "Text Editor->D->Colorizer".

So this only happens on paste and not when loading a new file?

The indentation should not have any effect on reloading a file, so a 
long pause is unexpected there.

In case you are running a version built on AppVeyor: there is a 
difference to a normal release in that it uses a stock dmd compiler. The 
official releases use a D runtime with a precise GC that can have a 
large impact on memory consumption. If you are editing large files this 
can make quite a difference.

You might want to try the new beta release here:
