Hi John, I think you are *clearly* overdoing the radiolink feature.
The problem is that the implementation uses font-lock to activate
matches, so that these are always up to date. This clearly means that
the number of links must be limited. I am not sure what the
limitation is in Emacs, but I would also suspect that, with this many
radio targets, you should be feeling the speed impact with every
single character you type - oy you must either have a *very* fast
machine - or be a sloooow typist :-) ?
With this many links, I guess a different implementation for radio
links would be needed, one that does not use font-lock, but some
mechanism that uses idle time.
We don't have such a mechanism yet. There are some plans, in
particular to support automatic inter-file links like HOWM does it, by
these have not moved beyond the "wishful thinking" stage.
This could be a nice extension! Anyone feels challenged to implement
it?
