As I have already flagged [1], current trunk shows a regression on GNU/Linux Kubuntu 8.04.1 (and at least on Cygwin): Moving with UP/DOWN arrow keys takes about 1 second to change line. This happens with files greater of a certain size. I have seen this with a file of 11MB but also with a file of 4MB or 5MB. The attached file, 'test_file.txt.bz2' (342 bytes!), when decompressed has a size of about 5MB and should show the 'phenomenon'. Cheers, Angelo. --- [1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-08/msg01384.html
