Is that getting up to the point where files get unwieldy? In googling around, I found a few suggestions: - Fiddle with linum settings http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5229705/emacs-org-mode-turn-off-line-numbers I set linum-eager to off and linum-delay to on for the current setting via the customize interface and didn't perceive an effect. Any keystroke in my org file takes 1-2 seconds to appear. - Fontification? http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/45197 Comments there have files in the 5-137k line range and many say there's no/little lag unless running agenda commands. Any other suggestions? I use this file almost daily, mostly for reference, not adding... that's to say it hasn't grown majorly in the past even 3months (maybe a few hundred lines), but performance *definitely* wasn't anything like this until the last week or so. Thanks for any suggestions on improving or tracking down the source. In the mean time, I'm going to revert to a few git commits ago and see if that does anything for me. Best regards, John
