Re: [O] how to speed up an org-mode file?
Sharon Kimble writes: Sorry for the late reply, but I thought I would add, the problem is likely some other packages you have activated, or maybe some particular combination of org-mode settings. As someone else suggested, starting with a clean Emacs configuration and adding packages one-by-one will probably reveal the problem. I'm guessing that running "emacs -Q" won't have the speed problem, because the file size you mentioned isn't too large for Org to handle well. I remember talking to someone on /r/emacs about an org-mode speed problem with large files, and he solved the problem by disabling a package or setting that was behaving badly. Let us know what you find! :)

In any case, anytime you happen to witness slowness when using Org, please send a profiling report so that we can try to improve it. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

Re: [O] how to speed up an org-mode file?
My experience is that (non-trivially sized) tables really slow down org mode, especially if there is more than one in a "section". I am not sure why this is, however. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.94.1, Org release_8.3.4-869-gf2c421
Re: [O] how to speed up an org-mode file?
IMHO if you can split the file in more than one .org file you'll get a better experience. I've been working on machines with less than 8Gb of ram in files that are bigger than yours ( 1.2Mb org with lots of latex, R and other things ) and haven't got a trouble. One thing that 've noticed is that, if I start the whole text shown, manipulating the file is much slower than if I got only the section I'll work on at that time. You'll probably should give it a try, e.g. opening only the section you'll work on.

Re: [O] how to speed up an org-mode file?
Try approaching this the same way that you would prepare an ECM: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html Start Emacs with a stable version of Org-Mode, without any additional configuration. Is the performance what you expect? FWIW: two things that sped up my rather small in comparison Org-Mode files were: - Switching from linum to nlinum - #+STARTUP: showeverything Sincerely, Grant Rettke On Sun, Jul 10, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Sharon Kimble wrote: > > I'm working on an org-mode file about cancer which is 945.1kb, is > converted to a tex file of 1.0mb and a pdf of 2.0mb with 505 pages.

Re: [O] how to speed up an org-mode file?
There must be something more than this. I sometimes work on a similar size file on an HP Chromebook using emacs in a Crouton installation and have no problems at all with speed. It is a nox emacs installation, if that matters.
