It's over 23000 lines, plus a couple of thousand lines
in files it includes.

To help 2.5 scan/parse faster, try inserting
   with profile
at the top of euphoria\source\eu.ex
then run:
   exw \euphoria\source\eu.ex win32engin.ew
(or run any other large program)
to get ex.pro.

There are various things that I (or anyone) can do
to speed up the front end. I spent years working
on the old C-coded front end. I've only spent months on
the Euphoria-coded front-end. Any speedups that anyone
makes can be copied straight into my "official" front-end.
(But please, let's not sacrifice readability in the name of
a tiny speedup.)
