That's probably what I'm seeing; that or just the time it takes to load  
a 1.5M file.  Most files I work with are quite a bit smaller.

My XML syntax is here[1], and the folding properties are:
foldingStartMarker = "^\\s*(<[^!?%/](?!.+?/>)|<[!%]--(?!.+?--%?>)|<%[!]?
(?!.+?%>))\\s*$";
foldingStopMarker  = "(</[^?]+?>|[/%]>|-->)\\s*$";

This is supposed to start folds on the following text:
	<!--
	<%--
	<%
	<%!
	<foo>
... but not if the line looks like this:
	<!-- -->
	<%-- --%>
	<% %>
	<%! %>
	<foo />
	<foo></foo>

It's not exactly lightweight; I'd think I'd prefer to see a more  
flexible folding-marker system that would allow me to define pairs of  
start/end markers.  That keep blocks like
	<!--
	--%>
from getting folded.
