Comment:

That being said, I think we could reduce the problem by adding optional

functionality to BTextView where it can send a "text changed" event after
a short delay after the user last pressed a key

This. I have quite a bit of code dealing with
SetMessage()/SetModificationMessage() in my UI framework and was once
tempted to add a one-fire BMessageRunner( MSG_INVOKED @ 500 ms ) that
would be 'reset' on each keystroke, until it's no longer reset and finally
sends its message, but never got around to it. Would be better if the
BTextView/Control API is extended to do that on its own indeed.
