Re: Slow movement in large buffers

[MidLifeXis at PerlMonks <midlifexis@wightmanfam.org>]

I have seen this happen when I have largish files with tables.  I also have a 
file
setting of:

#+begin_src org
  #+STARTUP: align
#+end_src


which turns on automatic alignment of things recognized as table-like.  If I 
remove
this startup directive, things tend to run more smoothly.

I have not formally reproduced this problem, and am currently going by memory as
to when I have seen it, so YMMV (and so might mine).

I keep all my info in one big Org-mode file which is currently just shy
of 115,000 lines. There's the occasional "stutter" of a fraction of a
second when I move across closed nodes containing large chunks, but it's
still perfectly acceptable (to me, anyway!).

My PC is an Intel dual-core 2.66GHz with 4GB RAM, so nothing
earth-shattering.
