very slow on big files

I have a big perl file ( ~7000 lines ) and epic works very slow when I try
to edit it. Especially when the autocomplete popup is going to show up.

I also (unfortunately) have one 7000+ lines file which I can edit with acceptable
(but not great) performance on a 2.8 GHz PC. You should have seen how slow
the previous versions were ;)

You can disable autocomplete in Preferences/Content Assist. Maybe this will
improve things a bit.

:) thanks, I'm not sure I want to disable it but I may have to. I had a
good result when I increased the verify time to 5 sec instead of the .4
or something like that. I'm working on 1.67 Ghz PowerPC G4 mac.

I'm actually using it for a couple of years now and I really like it - the
best I have tried.
