You are right! Right now I'm working on project with over 1M lines of
source code and code completion is so slow! Even Ctrl+Click navigation
doesn't work, it jumps always to nonsense place. If I try to write
something, I still see blue circle indicating Delphi is thinking... .
Horrible experience. Core i5 with 16GB RAM and SSD disk. Also tons of
lines with red mark etc.

BTW Yesterday created packages of fpc 3.0.2 and Lazarus 1.6.4 for
Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10. After 1.8 is released, I'll create packages as
well.
