Comment(by neverous):

 Replying to [comment:1 rekkanoryo]:
 > The limit is in place because excessive formatting changes slow the
 rendering process, thus receiving just a small number of messages with too
 many formatting changes can essentially cripple Pidgin.
 I understand why it is in there but i dont understand why 100 is the only
 one true limit. Why dont let user to change this? For own responsibility?
 ( I left the default value as 100 for those who dont want to change it )
 I tried getting message with approx. ~500 tags and pidgin works well with
 that for me ( i even tried 3000 and it works with no problem ( maybe only
 +5% of cpu usage while scrolling this ) ). I dont think that permanently
 set limits for something like this are good for everybody ( I dont think
 that other clients(for example gajim) have such security feature, why? ),
 but maybe im wrong...
