Re: [patch suggestion] Mitigating the poor Emacs performance on huge org files: Do not use overlays for PROPERTY and LOGBOOK drawers

All the tests are passing now.
The current version of the patch (against master) is in
https://gist.github.com/yantar92/6447754415457927293acda43a7fcaef

The patch is stable on my system for last several months. There are
still some minor issues here and there, but it is getting harder for me
to find any problems by myself. I need help from interested users to
review and/or test the patch.

Best,
Ihor
