I think the main problem of the slow loading of the editor is the way the
editor uses fonts. For every change of style a new font is created (and
destroyed (I hope)). I had this problem also when loading a few lines when
I used a (slow) remote fontserver. When I swiched back to a lokal server,
it loaded much faster.
I can imagine that on larger files this slows down.

Most of my writelns are for temporary tracing. When I fixed something I'll
remve them or change them to a trace.
