Then don't wait. Sit down and start hacking. You will get a lot of
support from everyone here, as soon as you start asking technical
questions and seek advice how to attack specific problems.

This line of argument won't get you anywhere, believe me. Been there
done that -- I waited for 6 years for Someone™ to come and incorporate
the bidi reordering engine into Emacs redisplay, which I wrote and
debugged back in 2002, but finally had to do it myself. If I hadn't,
Emacs would still live in unidirectional world today.

Then attack this one first.
For starters, flyspell.el is not supposed to do anything until it sees
that you completed a word. So as long as you type letters with no
whitespace or punctuation, the slowdown should be minimal to
non-existent, and the external speller program is not involved. Do
you still see significant slowdown while typing a single long word?
Or does it get slow only as soon as a word is completed and flyspell
starts talking to the speller?
