editor slow: maximun number of lines?

Hi,

I'm writing a GUI, and the companion .m files is around 5000 lines long. The problem is that editing anything there with the matlab editor is becoming progressively slower. As the file is the code of a GUI written with guide, I cannot easily split it in subfiles.

Is there actually a maximun number of lines that the editor can handle?

Disable cell mode and try increasing the java heap memory.

thanks, oleg, but my heap memory is at the allowable maximum in my sytem (1'5G), and I have the Cell modus always deactivated...

thanks Friedrich, hadn't seen it.... hm, now after reading it the answer seems that it is actually a "feature" of the new editor, and I can do nothing, except changing the editor and going for emacs or something like that. A real pitty, the Matlab editor is awesome.. when it works
