Don't know if this is related, but I used a StringList component to 
display some text in a Lazarus project months ago and it worked fine 
with texts about 10.000-30.000 lines long, but went incredibly slow, 
pratically freezes, when I loaded an 85.000 line textfile.
I wonder if something in TStringList internals goes really bad when has 
more than 65.536 lines?
Maybe this problem afflicts the lazarus IDE too...
