2 things I can thing off: - Codetools (but that should not affect scrolling), but Codetools can collect more and more info, using more memory. (AFAIK) - Memory management. SynEdit uses a TStrings attempt (IMHO a gaped-buffer would be more efficient). So it may re allocate a lot of Memory. That could upset the memory management. Both are *not* very likely candidates... You can try to reduce the amount of undo steps. Or compile with/withou heaptrc (leak checker) => some people reported that other apps gained speed *with* heaptrc. (But I don't really think it's memory mgmt) > The effect is boring, even if I only navigate through the source code > with the cursor keys :-( > > This bit sounds like a problem with painting the window. Which OS / Widgetset are you using? You have not mentioned anything, so I just verify, it is nothing that has become worse since 0.9.26 (or within 2009) ?
