Hi everyone :)
I don't know if I've hit a memory ceiling with BBEdit, or whether it
should be able to handle very large text files.
I was editing my gettext Compendium today. A Compendium is a list of
all the unique strings you have translated. This file is over 30 MB in
size.
Although I was only selecting, deleting and adding small amounts of
text in this file, I experienced increasingly long save times, and
some of my simple operations also had a spinning beachball.
Peek-A-Boo, a system monitor program, kept showing virtual memory
thrashing.
Eventually, BBEdit told me it did not have enough memory to delete a
couple of lines of text. Console says:

I can't find a separate log for BBEdit, so sorry I can't supply more
information. Console didn't seem to have anything else on its mind at
the time.
I had put off installing the latest lot of system updates until I
finished editing this file, so I'm only running the penultimate 10.5.2
at the moment on my MacBook.
...
Next day, after installing the system update and restarting my
MacBook, I have the same problem after editing (and searching) for a
while. I only have two copies of my large file open, in separate
windows. I have reduced the size of the file by editing it.

I'm restarting BBEdit, to get it to reset its memory requirements.
...
Some editing later... the same problem:

Is there some way I can increase BBEdit's memory allocation? Or is
this a different problem?
Thanks for any help you can offer with this. :)
