In other words, yeah, I wasn't thinking and I'm an idiot, etc. :-) I meant
a few K. I remember in the manual Stallman saying something about large
files requiring more time to process, so with the 'few thousand K' I was
trying to say that that wasn't the problem, but of course I misspoke.
Whoops. (I've got the GNU Emacs manual (the paper version from FSF) so I'm
going to look through it to see if I can figure something out) It just
seems odd; I mean, it's still slower than vim with the same file, no matter
the size. Maybe it is the overhead that vim doesn't have to account for
(i.e. - maybe it's because Emacs is a more powerful program checks and does
so much at once; I don't mean anything derogatory); I don't know.

Yeah, I wondered about that. I'm also interested in figuring out (maybe
with regular expressions) a way to make Emacs emulate another vim feature
that I do like: highlighting control characters in quoted strings in a C
file. For instance, in printf("Hello %s\n", name); I would like the %s and
\n highlighted in a different color from the normal string quote color. So
I may be adding more overhead, which is why I wanted to see if it was a
problem that could be diminished a bit.
Cheers and thanks,
