I just tried out editing a 1300321 word file with Emacs. Running in text-mode, I notice no lag. CPU usage tops out at about 3% on my machine (i5 MacBook Pro) when editing. Markdown-mode pushes it up a few points, but not a lot.
Long live command line editors!

- apocalypstyx 8y agoHow long were the lines? From my experience (as a pretty heavy emacs users, so not knocking it) when I have a 5K+ word paragraph, quite alot of operations become laggy when within that paragraph/line (regardless of whether visual-line-mode is on or off). Fontlock makes it, yet, worse.
