What do you mean by "very slow." Do you mean it takes a long time to load
or after it is loaded, it takes a long time to scroll up and down the file,
or both?
Have you tried Emacs?
What version of the JDE are you using?
Please read the JDE website on how to ask for technical support.

No. The reason for slow scrolling could be either fontification or the JDE
which method, or both, depending on which version of the JDE you are using.
Emacs has lazy-lock-mode to solve the first problem. I don't know to what
extent XEmacs supports lazy-lock-mode. Which method mode used to slow down
scrolling but should not in the latest version. However, you can try
disabling, it using jde-which-method-mode.

Do you mean you want to do this with a single command? If so, yes, but I
believe youd' have to write a command to do this. If you don't mind two
commands, you can use goto-line after opening the file.
