That's interesting from an academic point of view, but in my opinion spell checkers that don't take into account the context in the sentence (words before, syntax, context) are so 1990...
I'd prefer to see research in this direction rather than speed improvement on a method we all know doesn't really work. Because your typo is close to one entry (an existing word) in a list (the dictionary) that you maybe never heard of before doesn't mean you intended to type this.
