99% of files I work with are <1000 lines, so I don't mind. For larger files I will fall back to Vim.

The important thing to realize is that text editor performance is less about the technology used and more about the data structures and i/o.



This is not an excuse for an editor being claimed "fast". Textadept is written in C and is also very fast but has the exact same issue -- choking on huge files when Vim and others are able to handle it.
