I haven't tested this in MC 2.3 yet, but last night I loaded the Bible
into a field just to see how long it would take. 4.1 MBs, Old Testament,
New Testament - even the Apocrypha. Took a while to display, but not
more than a minute. Kinda cool - not even possible in any other tool
I've worked with.
