Is there any plugin to support lirge files, like log files of few MB in size?
Though this editor is really elegant, it's performance is not impressive while
handling large files.

Thanks for your reply. Is there any option in Notepad++ to chainsaw... like
load n MBs max in one go and then fetch next if needed?

Nope at this point. However, there are pleny of free, reliable utilities on
the Net that will do it. I didn't check, but I believe some will be smart enough
to cut files at line breaks - I had an old DOS tool that was doing it, so I
assume ithe functionality is available.

If you search he forums for "large files", you'll see this topis discussed many
times.
Notepad++ provides, through Scintilla, rich text rendering and editing. This
is what the component it uses are geared for. As a result, memory usage is high,
and thus limits the ability to load large files on any given system. What "large"
means depends on the available system resources.

Can't you chainsaw the large log file into managable chunks to be loaded one
at a time?
