Nothing unusual:

grep -C2 -E \(ispell\|flyspell\) ~/.config/emacs/init.el

  ; spelling
  (setq ispell-choices-win-default-height 2)
  (setq ispell-dictionary "en_NZ")
  (setq ispell-personal-dictionary (concat nh-etc "hunspell-dict"))
  (setq ispell-program-name "hunspell")
  (setq ispell-dictionary-alist
        '(("en_NZ" "[[:alpha:]]" "[^[:alpha:]]" "[']" t nil t utf-8)))
  (with-eval-after-load 'flyspell
    (progn
      (define-key 
         flyspell-mouse-map [down-mouse-3] #'flyspell-correct-word)
      (define-key 
         flyspell-mouse-map [mouse-3] nil)))

The lead-up was pretty mundane - I visited an elisp file, set the 
region to a block of text, M-x write-region, C-x C-f the resulting
file, M-x vi-l-m, a few edits, M-x flys-buf, M-x flys-mod --> lag

I tried to reproduce the problem, but no success. Sorry.
