Important information.

Well since the machine you describe is just barely suitable for
editing 100 line files :-D

I would suggest that there may be an interaction between real-time tag
parsing that was recently added to the SVN version and Geanyprj that
makes heavy use of tags.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any documentation on real-time
parsing or any way to turn it off to see if thats the case.
