I had to work with a vast bibTeX file today and Emacs almost died and got super slow, which made working with Emacs impossible. So I switched to Vim. However, I use Emacs since some years now and the only thing that really bothers me is this issue. I do not need to work with large files a lot, but when I do, Emacs is not my side kick anymore. I tried some additional packages, but none of them really satisfied me. Why is Vim still so fast and smooth when it deals with large files? How do you handle this issue with Emacs? I would love to see Emacs get over this issue some day. Thanks for your feedback! Fab
