I'm curious if there are users with larger orgmode files and what their experience is, and open to > suggestions on how to improve performance. emacs-bzr, org-7.7 The largest file I have is 7.2M. Some 6300 entries, 137k lines. Agenda commands are slow, of course, but otherwise the performance is acceptable. Anything that involves completion is quite slow. Opening ID links is also slower than I would like. Anything that works on the whole buffer can take a long time (cycling from OVERVIEW to CONTENTS takes more than a minute), so try to avoid that. (I keep old notes in that file, so mostly I search or link to entries.) If you are using the current bzr version of emacs, make sure to set `bidi-display-reordering' to nil. > > > > Cheers, > > > > Marcelo. -- Florian Beck
