Just wanted to mention that I too was experiencing a massive slow load time with this version until I deleted (renamed) the pspad.ini file. The program now loads much, much faster even with multiple large files, one of which had 88,000 lines in it. It is behaving much faster than the past several versions, even with the settings back to the way I had them, as best I could remember them.
If you want a copy of my old pspad.ini file I can send it you. Keep up the great work! Mark H. -- Mark H. <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,45622,45736> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
