My standard example is this file: https://github.com/Wilfred/ReVo-utilities/blob/a4bdc40dd2656c496defc461fc19c403c8306d9f/revo-export/dictionary.json?raw=true and which is ~19MB in a single line of JSON (which normally freezes Emacs for several minutes on quite fast hardware by simply visiting the file), and which comes from this question: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/598/how-do-i-prevent-extremely-long-lines-making-emacs-slow I've also used cut-down versions of that file in testing. I'm attaching a ~300K extract from that which is more than enough to make things painful at the end of the line (or slow-yet-manageable with so-long enabled). And here's an XML file of similar size and effect: wget -O long-line.xml https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/drupal/current -Phil
