[Github-comments] [geany] Parsing long files (#791)

[philip r brenan]

I have a large Java file (4.8MB). If I insert a new <b><big>{</big></b> near the start of this file, the run time for the parser becomes very long (5 minutes or so) - while the parser is running the editor is unusable.  Is there some way to prevent this from happening?  By parser I mean the code that determines the coloration of the keywords, strings, etc. <b>Thanks!</b>
