| Large Files slows the Editor [message #917597] |

Hello everybody,
My editor slows down when I load big files (such a file contains approximately 8000 lines).
When I stop typing for 2 seconds or start a new line, then the editor will start to parse the text.
Is there a way to increase the waiting time?
Is it possible to disable the parsing step after a new line was started?
Best Regards,
Ivo

You may also want to take a closer look at your grammar. I had an
implementation that was very inefficient due to having too many small
nodes. In my case, moving complexity to the lexer had a dramatic
performance impact.
Also, if your grammar requires a lot of backtracking, try to eliminate
backtracking.
Hope that helps.
