Yeah, I use a 1 TB spinning drive by USB. In Gimp with 6000x4000 images it's pretty slow but I just live with it, do less intermediate saves. I haven't looked at their source but I think mc calls unzip, seems like it's a dependency. Haven't messed with zips that big in a few months.
I'm almost ready to put in a feature request to have mc work with adb (for Android) in shell mode so you can plug in a phone and mc around. Seems like it could be a filesystem plugin. You can do adb shell and you're looking into the phone but you spent a lot of time doing cd this and that and working blind. You can do adb push and pull for file transfers.
