  1. POEmacs Org-Mode: Turn off line numbers
    text
    copied!<p>I've recently moved from <code>vim</code> to <code>Emacs</code> because I want to use <code>org-mode</code>. I opened a ~10000 line, 50kb file in <code>Emacs23</code> <code>Org-mode</code> and proceeded to add about 10 first-level headings. Performance on a quad-core with 3GB RAM in Emacs23 under Ubuntu 10.04/32bit was so slow that it was unusable. I found <a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/28097/focus=29447" rel="noreferrer">two</a> <a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37860/focus=37864" rel="noreferrer">threads</a> on the <code>Org-mode</code> email list discussing this. It seems that enabling <code>linum</code> causes the slow performance. I can live without line numbers in <code>.org</code> files if I have to, but I don't want to disable line numbers for all files I edit. If I'm going to "live" in `Emacs', I'll want line numbers for all other files. </p> <p>How can I disable <code>linum</code> for some or all <code>.org</code> files only? Is it possible to do this if I have several files open in <code>Emacs</code> and switch between them? I found some discussion about disabling line numbers for major modes <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LineNumbers#toc8" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, but there was nothing that I could implement (although the <code>linum-off.el</code> script <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/linum-off.el" rel="noreferrer">mentioned</a> on the page looks promising, I don't (yet) know (E)Lisp, so I can't change it as I would need).</p> <p>I updated <code>Org-mode</code> from version 6.21b which came with <code>Emacs23</code> to version 7.5, but it made no difference. Performance in <code>Emacs</code> GUI is so bad that the application fails to respond at all. Performance with <code>-nw</code> is "better", but still unusable.</p>
