Is Code Completion speed improved in Delphi 2010?

I am working with Delphi 2009 Pro and just tried to find out why code completion is so slow in my setup. Whenever code completion is invoked, the IDE locks up for up to 30s, which really interrupts any workflow.
When working with BDS 2006, code completion was incredibly fast compared to Delphi 2009.
After reading this post it seems to be normal for Delphi 2009, but just turning off the automatic code completion is not anything I want to do.

My question is:
If I switch to Delphi 2010, will I have the same slow speed for code completion or was it improved to a point to be usable?

EDIT:
I found the main problem why my IDE was so unresponsive. I used a file MSHTML_TLB.pas, created through the function "Import a typelibrary", which is 16MB of code. This file being scanned for code completion froze the IDE for up to 30s. Without that file being in the project, I'd say code completion is as fast as it was in previous versions.

Unfortunately, no. It hasn't gotten any faster in Delphi 2010.
