Is this better with so-long.el?
etc/PROBLEMS says:
*** Editing files with very long lines is slow.
For example, simply moving through a file that contains hundreds of
thousands of characters per line is slow, and consumes a lot of CPU.
This is a known limitation of Emacs with no solution at this time.
Is there anything more we can/should do in this case short of rewriting
the display engine? Does it make sense to track this limitation in a
bug report?
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
