Agreed, this is why one of my co-workers refuses to use Idea, because several of our files are very large that he works in all the time, and the delay of just switching between editor panes takes too long, proliferated by the fact he's using a 400MHz PII.
I don't think turning it off is the answer here though, because you still want all of Idea's functionality when editing these large files. It just needs to be more efficient at running as a parallel process or thread.
