Emacs Opening Large File Slow
While you have a large file, opening the file may be very slow.
The problem is almost always due to
font-lock-mode
, which does the syntax coloring.
also, linum-mode
You can turn it off by Alt+x global-font-lock-mode
and
Alt+x global-linum-mode
then, open the file.
Another way to solve the opening large file problem is by using
Alt+x
find-file-literally
. It'll open the file without syntax coloring, and without interpreting Unicode.
