It's a novel translation (so essentially two very long novels in one file), and there's no perceptible lag in navigation/folding. BUT! It's almost all plain text, very little fontification besides the headlines, and I understand that fontification is one of the major causes of lag. So, dunno if that's helpful, but it's another data point. Eric (Using the Ubuntu version of Emacs, 23.3 I believe, and yesterday's org-mode)
