OS:                Linux

Kate is extremely slow at deleting many (on the order of hundreds of thousands) of short lines of text.  Adding the text is fast, but removing it is very slow.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a short line of text, say "test"
2. Copy the line and paste it in a new line
3. Select everything
4. Copy
5. Paste in a new line
6. Repeat 3-5 until you have over 500,000 lines of text (this should be under 20 times, since the number of lines doubles each iteration)

You can use any other process that gets numbers of lines of this order of magnitude.

Actual Results:  
It takes many minutes to delete

Expected Results:  
It should delete in a few seconds.

This also happens with cutting.  Try cutting the text, it takes minutes.  Then paste it, it takes seconds.

Optimization:
Clear selection range (it's moving range) before removing text
