That answer is like in the old "doctor, it hurts when I do this!" - "don't do this." joke. There are quite a few situations in which you have no control over source file size, for example when using generated code (in my case SWIG) or when looking at preprocessed code (take a source file that makes use of STL and has <Carbon/Carbon.h> and <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> in the precompiled header, right click and select "preprocess").
There is simply no excuse why the fastest laptop Apple is selling would need to show a progress bar when loading a text file in Xcode when the same text file loads virtually instantly on a G3 iBook in other editors.
