yeah, emacs long line performance is in a really sad state. i find it can be quite handy to output really long lines in log files ("hey, here's all the game state at at tick N"), which i end up having to view either with command line tools or in sublime :-/.
i dream of an editor with the flexibility of emacs that but the bug-freeness and speed of sublime. :)

Also an option: C-x [ (backward-page) and C-x ] (forward-page) to move between occurrences of ^L (ASCII 12 - you can enter it in a buffer with C-q C-l).
- dilap 10y agoThat's a neat hack, though I'd still rather just use long lines -- it's easier, and it plays nicely with tools like grep. Come on emacs, other editors can handle them! :)
