Find next match, speed issue

Hi,
I have noticed this behaviour for a long time but was not sure to report as an issue.

There is a huge speed difference in using F8/next match, depending upon if you have chosen to display only the changes or not.
If I display changes only, then the find next match is fairly instant (and the option to show only matches is also very quick to set this optional view).
However in normal view, pressing F8 can take an age to get to the next match. Can you investigate please.

Hmm, never noticed that. Are you working with large files?

there are about 31000 lines.
I notice that on the files I am looking at in this example, that it is just the initial find next press that takes the time to appear. The next ones are quite rapid. I was sure I had cases where all the next matches would result in this slow speed. So perhaps if you have any comment on it just being the first time you press F8 (at the moment) and I will look at some settings that might cause this to be slow at other times.
