That's good to know. But could you perhaps share the information about the file anyway? For example, the following information would be useful to see if there is some bug in Emacs 24 or some speedup we should look for: . How long were the lines in this file, and how many lines are there? . Are there any empty lines in this file, and if so, how many lines are between each pair of empty lines? . I'm guessing this file is an ASCII file (otherwise, find-file-literally would make it hard or impossible to read), but please confirm that guess. . What was the major mode that Emacs used to visit this file? . Can you perhaps show a typical short fragment from the file? Thanks in advance.
