Package: kate Version: 4:3.5.1-1 Severity: minor "apt-cache show kate" shows that kate is for "Editing of big files".
As I have some problems editing large files with other editors (nedit turned out to be the only usable one, so I use it despite its lesstif related problems), I installed kate and tried to open my first large .sql file. On my Pentium M 1.7Ghz, it needs some minutes 100% CPU to refresh its screen. It gets better when I disable dynamic word wrapping, but then it breaks completely when I scroll to the right. I've to admit that it's a special file, it's a PostGIS SQL dump of an admin area, so of the 2.7 MB, there are 12 lines of SQL commands and one line with 2.7MB length. For comparison, nedit keeps usable, and never lags/freezes more than 1-2 seconds, with dynamic word wrapping on.
