That's not true. Emacs has several problems with big files. Though, to be more specifically, built-in minor-modes have them. So it depends on whether you run a bleak vanilla emacs without anything, or a mildly comfortable emacs with at least something like fontlock-mode and stuff.
But, 2000 lines are really not that much. Usually problems on my systems start to show at >10k lines.
