I have no idea why that would bog down your machine, but here's my
equivalent version of the same thing -- see if this works? Your use of
`other-window' might be better than my `next-window', which could
potentially yank into a non-visible window.
(defun my-yank-to-other-window (p m)
"Yank region to point of other window."
(interactive "r")
(let ((s (if (use-region-p)
(buffer-substring-no-properties p m)
(current-word))))
(select-window (next-window))
(insert s)))
HTH,
Eric
