My colleagues and I receive very large text files, and we continue to
have a problem of Xemacs freezing when highlight a large and use M-w
to copy the region.
Is there something I can tweak to keep this from happening?

This is an unfortunate and known issue.
(setq zmacs-regions nil)
will work around the problem, I believe.

Is there a way to still have the region highlight while selecting?

Under X, if you select with the mouse, the region will be highlighted,
regardless of the state of zmacs-regions. But if you want to
highlight with the keyboard, (setq zmacs-regions t) is AFAIK the only
way to cause the region to be highlighted. BTW, the problem is
related to X - in 'xemacs -nw', I can highlight a large block of text
(300,000 characters) and delete it with zmacs-region set to t and not
have a problem.
See http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200112/msg00367.html
for a little more data.

If the freeze occurs when you presss M-w, try:
(setq interprogram-cut-function nil
interprogram-paste-function nil)
This causes C-w, M-w, C-y etc to be "internal" to XEmacs, rather than
setting/reading the clipboard. If you wish to copy/paste between
XEmacs and other programs, you will need to use C-insert and
Sh-insert.
