With a normal file, when you keep the key Delete pressed, you see characters being deleted at a reasonable pace so that you can release the key.

However, if you write a file longer than ~500 LOC, and try to delete thus from the middle of it, it hangs completely while the key is pressed, and only shows the result upon key release.

This is due to Typerex in its default configuration (so, syntax highlighting is on). Disabling Typerex, emacs can handle way bigger files.
