I have seen this happen when I have largish files with tables. I also have a file setting of:
#+begin_src org #+STARTUP: align #+end_src which turns on automatic alignment of things recognized as table-like. If I remove this startup directive, things tend to run more smoothly. I have not formally reproduced this problem, and am currently going by memory as to when I have seen it, so YMMV (and so might mine).

I keep all my info in one big Org-mode file which is currently just shy of 115,000 lines. There's the occasional "stutter" of a fraction of a second when I move across closed nodes containing large chunks, but it's still perfectly acceptable (to me, anyway!). My PC is an Intel dual-core 2.66GHz with 4GB RAM, so nothing earth-shattering. -- Chris Randle
