syntaxhighlight fully functional :
1300 lines -> 3.1 s

syntaxhighlight (full code but ignore textarea formating commands)
1300 lines -> 0.17 s

You need to optimize it then...

EG, only format the screen you can see. Then when you scroll, update the new lines that appear.

How to detect a scrolling

Ive tested eventdata() for textarea
and it returns only one value in this case. (=1)

There's no eventdata to detect text scrolling

Capture the keys and the mouse controls that can cause scrolling and work from there.

Or scroll using a slider and capture that event.

^ that is fast syntax highlighting.

When you load:
you copy the file in the copy-memory. Than paste this in the textarea.
