No, it still hangs for a long time in my large XML file--not when I'm 
folding (I haven't been able to try that), but when just displaying the 
potential folds using Utilities | Global Options, Editing | Folding mode 
= Sidekick.  It appears that Sidekick is calculating the folds in the 
file from top to bottom, and only when needed; and it can take a long 
time.  That means that if I open a file (or re-start jEdit with an 
already open file, using the Sessions plugin), it's fine.  But if I 
start to scroll down, or drag the elevator scroll button down, or (I 
think) re-start jEdit with an XML file where my saved position was far 
down the file, jEdit stops responding for a long time.  How long depends 
on how big the XML file is (I haven't tried it on other kinds of files, 
but I wouldn't normally have a 100k line file of Python :-).)

The file where this really shows up is a proprietary file.  However, I 
could probably create a version of it with all the data replaced by Xs, 
if that would help.  It's about 25 megs, so I would need an ftp site to 
upload it to.  Or maybe I could just remove all the data, leaving the 
empty XML tags; that might have the same effect, I haven't tried.  Let 
me know if you need that.
