I'm an editor and proofread texts daily. (In Spanish). The spell check process in Word was always straightforward, without significant delays between each check.

But guess what. Now the humble spell checker has evolved and now it's AI and cloud based. Nothing wrong with those technologies if properly implemented, but now each word that gets flagged makes a web request to try and find a suggestion, most of which are useless.

It's so frustrating. My work was becoming noticeable slower. Since I get paid per word, I need to work fast, so now before spell checking I have to disconnect from the internet. And I paid for Office! I paid for a software that helps me work slower and earn less.
