Comment (by iseulde):

 > Another "speed-up" thing to try is using editor.getBody().textContent
 instead of editor.getContent{'raw'). That will give us only the text, with
 tags and entities already removed. If that works well, we will need to
 pass the context to the counting function as we will still need to strip
 tags for the Text editor (the tag stripping regex needs to catch html
 comments too).

 Should we exclude `code` and `form`?
