Bug Description

I am using Dapper and when I try to open a text file using gedit it takes very much time for the editor to load the file (abut 20-25 seconds for a 200k file) and it also takes very much time to scroll the text.

What sort of configuration do you have? Do you use some special options or plugins? Is that a simple text or some format using syntaxic coloration? Opening 1.7M of text takes around 15 seconds on my box ...

Does your file have very very long lines ? There are several bugs related to the fact that GtkTextView handling of very long lines makes it very slow to render.
