Some of those line-lengths are ridiculously long. Probably never meant to be used with a real editor, but only with web-site generators for creation and maintenance and implied obfuscation. Trying to redraw those lines with word-wrapping on - ugh.

Not even any backslashed line continuation characters either. I wouldn't blame mousepad for performance, but don't let that stop the fun of trying to make it work I suppose.

yeah, it does seem a bit ott
both cream(wrapper for gvim) and gvim can't handle it..
and yet geany has no problem at all

Yeah, this web obesity drives me crazy. But ironically having to read that HTML is my attempt to clean it and present a non-fat version of it

I have to disagree because there are some examples of text editors that can handle this kind of files pretty well. For Windows we have JujuEdit (a funny name but it's incredibly fast!), and for Linux we have something almost good: geany. But, come one, In the end of the day we're talking about the simplest thing we can have on a computer: text; just text! If rendering text isn't locked in 60 FPS I believe there's something really wrong.

Indeed!

Yeah, the performance is not spectacular, but at least the syntax highlight works

I'm trying this xi-editor because I read that it's fast. I managed to compile the GTK frontend, but I'm failing to build the backend. Can anyone help me?

i'm on void a the moment and they have xi-editor and gxi in their repos..
my test is not very encouraging ... lots of freezing, cpu about go into meltdown

That's alright! I managed to build it. The result... Of course it's not good

Gxi 0.8.0 (xi-editor frontend; the package contains a static build with everything)

And here's a build of Geany 1.33.0. It's indeed the least terrible text editor among all I've tested so far:
