Handle large/huge files better

#1

Currently Sublimetext 3 can open large files (about 500mb for example) but:

  • It takes very long
  • and searching inside takes very long, too

In comparision there are other editors (UltraEdit) which opens such files instantly.

Solution idea:

  • Do not load the complete file into memory when it’s larger than X MB. Just load the first X MB only.
  • Continue loading when the user scrolls down or the search needs to load more up to the next occurance of the search.
