Have you ever tried AkelPad [0]? Several years ago I tried loads of "lightweight" graphical text editors for Windows, searching for something with fast start-up and ability to load (and edit) humongous text files. Been using PSPad back then, with NPP as a side-kick, but when it came to dealing with super large files, this editor came as the most performant and reliable. It's data and memory footprint is super tiny and is quite extensible. I've never used it as a primary editor so cannot speak much about features (yes it seems dated and configurations seems wonky) but really proved to be workhorse for me. (Nowadays I mostly live in VSCode but still keep this AkelPad (and Foxe [1] / First Object editor for XML files) around when necessity to deal with something huge arises.)
