I think that it is related to the Text Cocoa architecture, which is not designed with Code editing in mind. It is intended to allow rich text editing, I suppose that the glyph layout algorithm is too general for fixed width font used in code editing.
I remember that they succeeded to increase the Text system by around 200% but it is not enough for very big text files.
The mines are generated by Orbacus/Corba tools when the idl files contains to many interface definition, and hopefully they don't need to be edited... But, I just tested them again, and the biggest file weight 1000kB, on my powerbook G4 1.5 it is usable with Xcode 2.3, it was not the case before... Un-checking the wrap mode in preference panel changes the performance a lot, which seems to be normal.
