Hi,

as I use it for my day to day work, I am amazed that there should be such a 
regression. Can you point me to a report about that?
The only problem performance wise I am aware of is the handling of VERY long 
lines, but that issue is around since years and only hits people with lines 
multi-tousand chars long.

Greetings
Christoph
