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.
