I don't think there's a workaround expect "Merge Down". I am surprised
that you are saying that "Merge Down" takes considerable time. You
should be able to bind a keybinding to it and have it done rather
fast. May I ask how large your images are and what average size of
text layers you are working with? I am also interested in what
tile-cache size you configured since I wonder if perhaps GIMP is
working on the swap file if it's that slow for you.
