Yes, some of us don't have the latest.
However, I tried opening some large text files on an external
7200 RPM external hard drive attached to my 2010 iMac 2.93GHz i7
with 12 MB RAM. BBEdit opened a 70.5 MB file in 1 second, and a
186.8 MB file in 2.5 seconds.
Then I tried opening those same two files over my LAN with a Mac
Mini 2010 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo with 8MB RAM: 70.5 MB in 11
seconds, 186.8 MB in 31 seconds. Finally, I copied the larger
one to the Mini's Desktop, dragged its icon onto BBEdit on the
dock (already running): under 6 seconds.
In all cases, scrolling, jump to the end of file, etc, were all
immediately smooth and fast.
This is with BBEdit 10.5.10, OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks); no SSDs on
either machine. I don't have those other editors that Thomas tested.
In years past, people noticed that having BBEdit set to wrap
lines would cause some slow-downs, especially when scrolling. I
routinely don't have line-wrapping turned on, so I haven't
recently tested whether that's still a factor.
Clearly from some of the posts, our mileage is varying. I wonder
if it's the amount of RAM...

SSD or Fusion drives dramatically improve file opening speed over
spinny HDs. On my old klunky Mac with a plain old HD, I go make coffee
while the file opens. On my new Mac with an SSD, I take fewer coffee
breaks.

Became curious – had to try that by myself...
For testing I used a 129 MB SQL-Dump on my new 3.5 GHz i7 iMac
with 32 GB RAM, Fusion Drive and Mavericks.
BBEdit:
~2 sec to open, smooth scrolling, everything's fine.
Fantastic! Could hardly believe that.
Textmate 2:
~12 sec to open, smooth scrolling, pausing when resizing the
window, syntax highlighting was fast on the first 100.000
lines or so, but then took minutes for the rest of the file.
Textmate 1:
Almost the same as TM 2, but beach ball for many seconds when
jumping around via "Go to line"
Coda 2: ~15 sec to open, no syntax highlighting, every
scrolling showed the beach ball, unusable
PhpStorm 7.1:
"Too large" message and that's it.
Sublime Text 2:
~1,5 min to load, but then super fast and responsive incl.
syntax highlighting and minimap
Another test with ~100 K HTML Code:
BBEdit: Super fast!
Textmate: Syntax highlighting needs some time...
Sublime: ~3 sec to load, but then really fast
Coda: No syntax highlighting, lazy, sticky, no fun
Dreamweaver CS 5.5: ~18 secs to load, then a min or so beach
ball after scrolling to end of page... but then ok, even in
Code/Design split-view
