My largest .org file is 6120 lines, 306741 bytes but I have 51 files contributing to my agenda for a total of 29488 lines, 1,263,120 bytes total. My archive files are much bigger but not normally accessed. This is on a 32 bit linux system and the only slow thing I have is 5 seconds to generate my block agenda which includes all of my org files. Archiving things you don't need is the best way to keep things fast I think. You can still search the archive from the agenda if necessary. Regards, Bernt
