This is not usual in C files.  For example, xdisp.c (part of Emacs) is
~30,000 lines long, but scrolls reasonably fast.  It may be that there's
something unusual about your file which is making C Mode slow - something
like a very large macro, or a very large enum.

Firstly, could you please tell us what version of Emacs and CC Mode
you're using.  (M-x emacs-version and M-x c-version).

Is the lag as bad if you start Emacs as emacs -Q?

Would it be possible for you to send me the file?  If so, please send it
to <address@hidden>, and tell me anything I need to do to make it slow.  Then
I can investigate the problem directly.
