Package: less Version: 444-4 Severity: normal I have a text file in which one line has about 34,000 characters. If I view this file with 'less', it can take several seconds to display each screenful (on a 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo) or sometimes nearly a minute (depending on how I navigate in the file; I don't know quite what makes the difference). This suggests that less is using a poor algorithm for line-wrapping (quadratic or worse time complexity).
