Test results:

* 2.70 GB, 200,000,000 lines, ASCII random data file. 16 threads, Windows 10 (64-bit), Core i9-9900K, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD. TheFirst time andsecond time mean that the first time and second time opening of the file after restarting Windows. The second time is usually faster than the first time because of theWindows cache mechanism. EmEditor does NOT leave any temporary files to increase the speed of opening files.
