You need to use a better IDE then, and get a faster computer,
and a mouse with a scroll wheel.
With Visual Studio + Visual Assist navigating huge solutions is
fairly trivial, and extremely fast.
VAX can instantly take you to the definition of any symbol with
alt-g(not the build in crap in VS, VAX has better capabilities by
far), list all references(not just variables with the same name,
it actually understands the code), rename any symbol throughout
the entire codebase, and a bunch of other things that only a tool
which actually understands the code can do. All of these
operations are extremely fast btw.
