[R] Linux editor for R+LaTeX, but not Emacs

[Gregory. R. Warnes]

I, personally, see tremendous slowdowns in XEmacs responsiveness when  
the buffer gets large, probably due to font-lock pretty-printing  
stuff.  Since ESS can't / doesn't submit the next command until the  
fontification is done, things can slow down by a lot.
