I'm on the job. :) I'll write back with an official report. Suffice it to say that my early experiments show org-mode cruising through the examples you gave me, but slowing considerably whenever, as you suspected, there are numerous nested overlays. I tried, unwisely, to create a tree consisting of 100 subtrees, each of which contained a quote, a drawer, and 100 additional subtrees, each of which, in turn contained a drawer. It not only took the better part of a minute to cycle the tree, but it sent my emacs memory usage skyrocketing. Needless to say, 10000 nested entries, each with quotes and drawers, is an extreme case. :) Best, Matt
