I always use Word for this sort of task. It loads part of the file then lets you work while it background loads the rest of the file, and it does that fairly quickly. And the Find and Replace function in Word, while not the most sophisticated, is very fast.
Otherwise, if you just want to do file manipulations, nothing beats command line Unix tools for flexibility and performance, IMHO. They just suck from a usability perspective.
