Consider splitting big org file into org file per chapter

[kozikow]

I have been reading the book in org format and being to able to read it in org have been amazing experience.

I had to disable a few modes to effectively view the file, since it's that big.

Personally, when my org files grow too big I split them into separate org files. Some advantages:

• You can link between org files anyway. Majority of org features can work across multiple org files.
• Source control gets less confused when you use multiple files. Moving sections around do not generate large diffs in source control. It's less likely to get merge failures.
• Some Emacs modes do not work well with too big files For example linum-relative-mode or helm-imenu.

For future reference, personally for me fixing the problem was changing my config to not use (linum-relative-global-mode 1) and instead do:

(require 'linum-relative)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'linum-relative-mode)

I think nlinum might be another solution: https://www.wisdomandwonder.com/article/10066/switch-to-nlinum-immediately
