Long line handling has greatly improved in emacs-29. Multi-megabyte lines are not a problem anymore.
- canucker2016 2y agofrom Emacs 29.1 NEWS file, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/refs/heads/master/etc/NEWS.29 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/refs/he... ** Emacs is now capable of editing files with very long lines. The display of long lines has been optimized, and Emacs should no longer choke when a buffer on display contains long lines. The variable 'long-line-threshold' controls whether and when these display optimizations are in effect. A companion variable 'large-hscroll-threshold' controls when another set of display optimizations are in effect, which are aimed specifically at speeding up display of long lines that are truncated on display.
