* Maybe EMACS "narrowing" could be used:
http://www.gnu.org/s/libtool/manual/emacs/Narrowing.html
...
Narrowing can make it easier to concentrate on a single subroutine or
paragraph by eliminating clutter. It can also be used to limit the
range of operation of a replace command or repeating keyboard macro.
...
C-x n n
Narrow down to between point and mark (narrow-to-region).
C-x n w
Widen to make the entire buffer accessible again (widen).
C-x n p
Narrow down to the current page (narrow-to-page).
C-x n d
Narrow down to the current defun (narrow-to-defun).
** I mean: Maybe an OrgMode user could do narrow-to-region (and then
just "render" on the new smaller region) and/or an implementation
something like "org-narrow-to-region" could be coded.
*** Just an idea--your mileage may vary--it may not work at all--I
hope you try it out and tell how it works for you.
* I ran into similar problems: I made the file into 2 separate
files--one very large and the other very small that I render a
lot--when it gets big, I just prune out older and less important now
(backburner) subjects, paste them at the bottom of the small file and
then cut and paste the less important "*" sections into the big file.
** Works great, its really the best way to do it--for backing up and
encrypting reasons and hard drive space reasons etc.
** Could call them blahfile_now.org and blahfile_later.org (for the
small and large files respectively).
*** Since OrgMode files are plain text files, this works great.
