Rather than sending off the text to be spellchecked at intervals, couldn't you refrain from sending it when the cursor hasn't yet moved past a word boundary? This is what most "check spelling as you type implementations do".
eg. If you type "spellnig" and leave the cursor immediately after the "g", the word won't be highlighted until you hit space or otherwise cause the cursor to move beyond the word boundary.
