Re: [Bug-zile] Incremental search is dog slow in moderately-sized files

[Reuben Thomas]

Zee, having cleaned the bitrot, works fast. (luarocks install zee-git-1.rockspec should work now.) I suspect this is a clue:

commit 1c308523155b1c8f344223f2591a0ad7d5834bec
Author: Reuben Thomas <address@hidden>
Date:   Wed Oct 3 02:13:44 2012 +0100

    search.lua: simplify find_substr to allow only searching from point
   
    As a result, remove the last calls to tostring for the entire buffer
    contents, and make searching the buffer much more efficient.
   
    Also remove the non-regex search option, which is no longer used.

I can't find a corresponding commit in Zile.

I would be delighted if you already have a fix I can port over!
