Probably trying to soft-wrap it (and 93MB binary files unfortunately aren't especially amenable to being displayed that way). >* Is there some way to stop BBEdit in this sort of deep loop?

Unfortunately not, though if you're able to wait until that file is fully displayed, you should be able to just close it and then save everything else. (If you'd accidentally opened some huge number of files, there'd be room to process an interrupt between the successive opens, but within a single file open there isn't.)
