By big, I mean atleast a hundred megabytes big?100+ MB big; such text files can push the envelope of editors.

While 100+ megabyte textfiles aren't common (atleast I hope so!), I have an app that's exporting data as XML and needs to be debugged. So, need to look through thea large XML file, and can't do thatbut cannot if the editor is crashybuggy.

Any suggestions?
