I wrote a long and complex book in TeXmacs (with many
images) and when the length became several hundred pages I
found that I needed workarounds to avoid this problem. Since
I finished the book in 2003, both processor speeds and
TeXmacs itself have improved. However, my experience might
still be worth mentioning. I found the advantages of using
TeXmacs far outweighed this inconvenience.

I worked on the document chapter by chapter, pasting each
into a long document. I could still edit the long
document, but if I had any big revisions to make I would
rewrite a chapter in a second file due to the speed
problem. Cross-referencing required special attention this
way, however, and for that, Joris had an important remark to
make.
