Far Eastern languages use a Dual Byte Character Set (DBCS), which means that they display standard text differently from normal Windows computers. To accommodate this, Ekushey uses a special DBCS format to display Bengali. However, it saves in standard Bengali format, so that files can be interchanged without a problem between between DBCS and normal windows computers. Converting between these formats is what takes extra time when saving and loading files.
