I just dumped 100mb of (generated) pascal source code in SynEdit. There is 
no slow down in painting or moving around and syntax highlighting seems to 
work perfect. In fact i can scroll from the top to the bottom and back 
without any slowness. I tried the same file in jEdit and scrolling beyond a 
few thousand lines had a delay of a couple seconds. Modifying the code is 
instant and we're talking about 5 millions of lines. Although i doubt any 
sane unit will reach that point, it shows that even if it does, Lazarus can 
edit it.
