Thank you for the quick response. 1. It's a text file about 30,000 lines with each line 80-200 characters wide. Since it's an application log file of proprietary software, I can't really ship it. However, I don't think the behavior shouldn't be content-specific, so hopefully you can pick a file that reproduces the problem.
2. Yes, I ran it on different terms. It works best with gnome-terminal, very smooth and fast scrolling. Xterm works well too, slightly slower but still smooth. Unfortunately, rxvt isn't installed on the platform. On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 5:57 PM, Jehan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > a few questions: > > 1/ how large?
