On: Emacs 23 is very near

[BearOfNH]

In Emacs 22 about the largest file I can edit is 27MB. From the lack of hype I take it Emacs 23 won't improve on that. This is on 32-bit WinXP, sadly.

It's a heck of a lot easier to pore thru a huge trace file with an intelligent editor. Instead, I get to use Notepad.

I have no problems with large files - using Emacs 23 from http://www.ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html.

The file on the screenshot is ~156MB took several seconds to load but after that all operations on it are instant.

The blacked out parts are work related - sorry.

Well, that's just sad, since Notepad loads the whole file into memory.

Have you tried Notepad++ or UltraEdit? Colorization, smart handling of large files, etc.?
