I’ve been working with large text files above 100MB in size and they take an eternity to open in Notepad, while in Wordpad and Word they have to keep loading as I scroll through the file.

I’ve been using PrestoSoft ExamDiff to compare the files and that can open and compare two files in a fraction of the time it takes for Notepad to simply open one file. This made me realise there's probably much better text editors out there than notepad so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a simple text editor that can open large files quickly?

Thanks for any suggestions.
