Sorry, I couldn't recreate this. I just built a tiny texteditor app: https://65cd02a1-8f00-47cb-b1d1-231493de5fc2.paged.net/

Tried putting 20k lines into it. Loaded instantly, allowed me to scroll and edit flawlessly.

But I get your point. I'm on a pretty decent 2022 iPhone, and I'm sure at some stage I would run into a performance hit. But not at 20k lines.

Note taking apps generally do formatting, markdown like stuff or at least linking to urls in the text etc.

You cant slap a plain text field and assume that emulates the actual experience in any way.
