It's fast. Very fast. It can handle very large files without any trouble. I love the features provided by other editors, but when I need performance, I usually stick to Sublime and (neo)vim. vim can't handle large files, though.
- black-tea 8y agoEmacs is comparable in speed and memory usage according to this: https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/blob/master/editor-perf/readme.md https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/blob/master/editor-p... When you consider that emacs is so, so much more it's really quite impressive.
- h1d 8y agoI thought vim slows down only because it starts counting the number of lines as shown in the status bar. You could Ctrl-c and file becomes responsive but if you try to save huge file, I once got it truncated to some small part maybe because I quit the editor too early or something. Why do people open very large files with a text editor? If it's a data file, you should grep/head/tail.
