Yow, those are _source_ files?
It can be an XML file... I worked with very big SVG files, for example
(earth map).
Or a stupid C source file with lot of images in XPM format! :-P
As I understand, Scintilla was
never designed for really big files, it doesn't page intelligently.
Because code is never this big ;)
Rather because it seems very hard to intelligently colorize such files.
I believe that editors handling nicely very big files do this using
memory mapping of the source file, which, if I understood correctly,
allows the system load only a window to the current part of the file.
Actually, I don't know how they handle editing such file, unless it is
for read-only view.
