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

[philip r brenan]

This is absolutely marvellous - I will try to do this - as this is my first
attempt at patching and compiling it will take a day or two as I will have
to discover the exact procedure.

One of the (many ) reasons I use Geany for Java in preference to using the
standard Java tools is that Geany scales much better on large files: it
responds quickly and predictably with far fewer distracting glitchs and
unexpected slow downs. I greatly appreciate your efforts to eliminate this
problem - it makes a big difference.

Thanks,

Phil
