Does "Enhance the loading performance for the large file." mean it can edit files larger than your RAM now?

UltraEdit could do this. I always find it unfortunate Notepad++ can't.



I use EditPad Pro instead of Notepad++ because of this. I'll try this new NotePad++ version today!


Sadly I just tested it and it's still not that good with large files.

I created a 185MB text file. It opens well, but:

1) Scrolling to the end is very slow

2) Finding a keyword which is near the end is very slow too

I'll stick to EditPad Pro for now.
