One thing is browse or link to such code files on the web (e.g. from within a tracker comment or from within our online documentation). For example, today I was unable to open the following page from within a browser to link to one of its lines on a tracker comment:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/27c20650aeab/Objects/unicodeobject.c
My laptop's fan simply turns on and the page hangs indefinitely while loading.
Curious. This sounds like a web browser issue - I can pull it up in either Chrome or Firefox on Windows on my 2GHz/2GB RAM laptop with a visible pause, but not more than half a second. However, this page is rather more significant, and is affected equally by the file size: http://hg.python.org/cpython/annotate/27c20650aeab/Objects/unicodeobject.c ChrisA
