Thank you all for the excellent feedback!
The first thing that came to my mind was font-lock. However, disabling
font-lock did not solve my problem, so I decided to ask here. After Eli's
response from yesterday, I started to debug my init file. It actually
was all my mistake and I was not aware the linum.el caused all the
trouble! In fact, I do not really need this minor-mode but I never
really disabled it from my init file. After doing so, I have absolutely
no problem with editing the vast bibTeX file, even with font-lock. I
have also created a huge ASCII file of approx 500MB and it is no problem
to edit the file.
Thank you!
Fab
