@dhaumann OK the limit is too low for Kile that is clear. Visual Studio Code is limiting the highlighting on a line to 10000 characters. I tried to set the limit to 10000, but that was very noticeably slow. Selecting a whole line took multiple seconds, which is probably the reason why we have had 4096 as the wrap limit ;) Is it the whole idea of limiting the highlights or just the too low limit that you object to? The main hotspots I see in my perf/hotspot profiling is RenderRangeList::advanceTo(...) in KateRenderer::decorationsForLine() and in KateRenderer::paintTextLine() the hotspot is QTextLayout::draw() (especially the one with "additionalFormats"). In both places I don't see (right now at least) very many possibilities to optimize. I think the main problem is that we draw the whole line at once even tho we only see just a tiny bit of it (when we have long lines). "Fixing" this problem would probably require that we also start to draw the lines in chunks...
