Re: Emacs has hard time with big text files

When I open big text file (46M in this case) emacs take long time for

Is this only my case or is emacs in general sluggish with big files?

What mode is emacs using for the file? E.g., if the file is something like xxx.1 emacs uses the troff-mode which is indeed slow. In this case you can change to fundamental mode: <Esc>-x fundamental <Ret>.
