RE: [ jEdit-devel ] Super slow buffer with big files!

[Matthew H. <mat...@wa...>]

I'd like to comment here, that I have also noticed jEdit becoming almost
unresponsive when I have a large text file. Here is my environment:

Win2K
jEdit 4.1pre4
j2sdk 1.4.0.01

More specifically that I can tell, the problem only exists for me when
the text of lines extend far into the right of the buffer. If I modify
the same text file, and return the lines of text so that the text
doesn't extend so far into the right of the buffer, jedit seems to be
more responsive.

Subject: [ jEdit-devel ] Super slow buffer with big files!


Hi I am having a problem with jEdit that I'd like to fix. Whenever I
load a big text file, say a 2MB SQL file, the scrolling becomes very
slow!

Is this a problem with jEdit, or is this a limitation of the JVM. I
imagine increasing buffer sizes could speed scrolling up with large
ammounts of text. Has anyone found a solution to working with large
ammounts of text quickly in jEdit? Oh yeah, and I did turn of all the
options that slow stuff down like anti-aliasing, etc...

If this is a problem with the jEdit code, perhaps I can lend my Java
expertise in coming up with a fix? Or is there a simpler way to speed
things up?
