For normal bug tracking, I guess inserting, searching and state (todo) handling would be the main tasks. These operations would be either O(n) or O(1), where n is the size of the file, I would imagine, so 20 MB might not be too bad? I can't give you any specific data points that fall into that magnitude but I can say that for files 1% that big, a slow netbook has no problems even doing agenda views which are more expensive operations than those mentioned above. > Another nuisance is attached files.

Since moving my org files to be under version control (and boy does that make a difference to my peace of mind!), I don't know how to deal with attachments. Attachments, for me, are usually ephemeral and usually types of documents I don't particularly like to deal with (typically MS Word or PPT). Any suggestions? eric _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
