The Go button starts an update of the value Data bound to all TextBox:es according to:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz
Installed RAM 64,0 GB (63,8 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

(The "solution" was initially described in http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/376495/wpf-sporadically-slow-textbox-text-anystring that is no longer available. )

Repro by running the attached application.
