Stop Safari hanging when selecting the address bar or opening a new tab

This shit has been bugging me for too long, so I went on a hunt and found a workaround.

The Symptoms are as follows:

  • Clicking the address bar results in a 1-4 second delay
  • Opening links in new tabs results in a 1-4 second delay
  • +T results in a 1-4 second delay
  • PressAndHold[<pid>]: IMKServer Stall detected is present in /var/log/system.log at the time of the hang.

It appears to be to do with the PressAndHold helper - the thing that shows an IOS style selection of accents when you hold a key down.
