Hi,

The same occurred to me some time ago, but not any more though I use 
some files with more than 19K lines.
I do not know/recall the reason why I had this inconvenience, but it 
seems to me that it may have been correlated with some problem in the 
refactoring database.
Have you enabled refactoring in your project?
- If yes, try to rebuild the database by going into the "Refactor" menu, 
then "(debugging)" at the bottom, then "clear and rebuild database again 
at the bottom. If that does not improve things, you may create a brand 
new project with the minimum number of files needed to test and see if 
the problem is still there.
- If no, it may be the syntax checker. Do you have the "Head and bones" 
sign for Syntax errors in the "Outline view" ? If it is slow when you 
have that sign and normal if you do not have it, then you may have to 
edit your file with a different editor so that when you open a new if or 
do block it does not parse your file again and again until you write the 
corresponding endif or enddo.

These are just some non exhaustive suggestions. No guaranty of success! ;)

Cheers!
