[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany really slow when opening huge text files (#1969)

[elextr]

We can stop multiple passes through files while they are opened to reduce loading delays.

But open files will always be loaded into memory, thats the way the editing widget Geany uses works, it is a gap buffer.  And since the editing widget also allocates a style byte for each byte in the file, you actually use twice the memory, plus per line data.
