tail 1_gb_of.txt
...will get the last line of output long before the rendering engine finished initializing. And it will probably do so even on a 10year old laptop with no GPU, in virtual console, while the system is running under load ;-)

In my case, I often save the time it takes to press Ctrl+C and add "tail" at the beginning of the previous command I see you posted the same comment again and again, every time asking for a possible use case, and when people provided you with theirs, you answered, «well, but I would…», with the tone of who is saying that mine is the only rightful way to do it. Well, it's not.
