Hi folks,

I'm using QTextEdit (qt4 btw) on my application, and I've just hit a wall so to speak. The thing is that my application needs to handle large paragraphs (something like a paragraph of 17 pages long), and QTextEdit really doesn't handle that well. If I break the same text into multiple paragraphs, performance is just fine, but on a single one, it's just awful.
I've read on some Qt3 that QTextEdit only performed the layout only on the text visible on the screen. It doesn't seem to do that anymore, otherwise performance would be fine, right?
So any ideas on how I should proceed on getting QTextEdit (and it's internal classes) to perform well on this matter? Would I have to redo the painting of QTextEdit via subclass? Any other way?
I appreciate any help on this matter.

Thanks

Luiz
