A lot of headings in your Org-Mode file can make Emacs unusably slow when you collapse all of them.
My original solution was to avoid collapsing them with #+STARTUP: showeverything. Major problem with that approach is that you still can’t use collapsing because if you do, Emacs because again unusable.
Months ago I switched to nlinum and now there are no more performance issues, even on the largest file that I work on.
I am happy to share with fellow Orgers my recent book — Ending Malnutrition: from commitment to action — published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, Rome and Tulika Books, New Delhi (http://www.fao.org/3/a-i4921e.pdf), The book was written and produced entirely in Org.
This would not have been possible without the terrific support provided by this community. Over the last few months, I have come to this mailing list with several queries about how to do something or the other, and people have very patiently provided solutions and suggestions.
I would like to thank everyone for their patience and their support.

From acknowledgements of the book:
In addition, for all the statistical work and writing, the authors relied on R (www.r-project.org), org (www.orgmode.org), and LaTeX. All three are open source projects, freely made available by very vibrant communities of developers. During the course of the work, we often drew on support from these communities.
ADDEUNDUM:
The author just released the source code for the book!
Setting up a development system is a non-trivial investment.
This document captures the steps required and automates as much as possible. The project has other formats, too.
The Style Guide is a must read for the operator.
Org-Mode converted this manual, tedious, and error prone task to a semi-automated, nearly reproducible, and error-less process, for me. This document has never been beta tested; I am it’s only user.
I’m studying Noweb Refs. Here is something helping me make sense of it. I asked about it on-list, too, with more details. I’m still playing with it.
org-scraps are interesting because I have only used Org-Mode’s tangling functionality for my Emacs initialization file. They show off a lot of the literate stuff with concise examples. Things make a lot more sense how.
"/Users/gcr/tmp/scratch.org" org-export-current-backend now. Another example of Elisp configuring a header arg.sh, find, and dot.6 .DONE examples to verify identical result.:results configuration for source blocks. Replace table with scalar for in-line source blocks.org-sbe and #+TBLFM.TBLNAME are taggable, for example with :noexport:.sh SB generates a table with the captured output from echo, with 1 row for each call.org-babel-remove-result works no matter where the RESULT block is located. It doesn’t have to immediately follow the Source-Block.ob-scheme allows two sessions with the same name when they were started with different interpreters.+--------+ +-------+ +-------+

The test succeeded by turning off thumbnail images.
WordPress is a powerful and satisfying writing and publishing platform. After learning Org-Mode, I wanted to use Org-Mode for writing and WordPress for publishing. Org2Blog makes that easy.
WordPress easily exports your posts to XML. Org2Blog-Importers converts them to Org-Mode via Pandoc. Tonight I converted them here. Any future modifications belong in these documents with publishing to WordPress.
I tested both publishing new posts and modifying and re-publishing old posts and both worked correctly.
