No.. No.. This is not yet another philosophical post.
I was in need of opening large text files. Large in order of 2+ GB for a single text file.
Then found Large Text File Viewer. A freeware. Sized only 367 KB .

To my surprise it was opening the large files without even a single second delay. An awesome tool esp. for my current need.
The features of this tool are:
· It uses little memory and is able to open a gigabyte file instantly.
· Background file indexing makes browsing even faster.
· It allows the user to perform high-speed complex text search by means of plain text or regular expression. The regular expression syntax is slightly different from the standard ones.
· The program opens and displays both ANSI and Unicode text files
· Display parameters are automatically saved and associated with filename extensions.
· It supports mouse wheel.
· You may use drag-and-drop to open a text file. The program remembers recently opened files.
· It remembers the window position/size of the previous run.
Really a workhorse.

- Tried with notepad. Result : Need to press Ctrl + Alt + Del to rescue my comp
- With Notepad++, my favourite text editor, it was struggling to open it.
- Tried with Wordpad, Office 2007 Word etc.. Not satisfied with the performance.
