Hi bugs@, I tested this on 7.8.
I was using less to explore a log file and found it completely unresponsive around certain sections of the log file. It turned out that the log file included a 1MB line -- an image encoded in base64. What's curious is that vi is considerably faster at moving around in the same file. Both more and less appear to be the same speed at this. As far as ports go, nvim also handles it well. I'm not sure exactly why it's so slow. It may or may not be worth addressing, but it would be nice. Especially since vi is so much faster. Reproducing: Write a long line: perl -e 'print "a" x 10 x 2**20;' > file (I tried 2**30, but perl was very slow when I did that.) less file, press end. Try to scroll back up. more file, press end. Try to scroll back up. Thanks! -Henrich
