ORG-NEWS

At present, etc/ORG-NEWS is over 4000 lines long and "org-intensive". I
find navigating the file to be slow and cumbersome. I suggest it be slit
in two, or even in to org versions.  What do others think?

I don’t really see that here, but I’m using a pretty new system.  If Org
is slow, it might be better to fix whatever is causing the slowdown.

Do you see the slowdown when you navigate the file with "emacs -q"?  Also,
could use try to figure out what is causing the slowdown with the
profiler?

I think we should first try to find the slow parts and fix them.

Could you send a profiler report?

Are you running linum-mode? It is a source of slowness

Exactly! Thank you very much for the answer. I should have realised that
linum was the issue since I had the same problem with docview a while
back.

Best wishes,

Colin.
