--- Comment #6 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> ---
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Convertdata is about 7,400 lines and seems
fine in my browser. So somewhere between 7,400 and 30,000 lines, the HTML gets
too big to be reasonable.

It may make sense to cap syntax highlighting at a certain number of lines
(10,000 or so) or change the way in which it works (client-side JS instead of
changing the rendered HTML?). The giant pages just don't seem sensible for huge
pages with the current implementation when the whole mass of text can
presumably just be wrapped in <pre> and load reasonably quickly.

On the other hand, using wiki pages as databases... this is headed down a
dangerous road. This isn't code, it's structured data. :-/
