It seems a lot faster than most.

But what it still doesn’t replace is my favorite editor EmEditor [0] (Windows only). Like every alternative I’ve checked out, Lite blocks for a long time when opening a multi-gb file. They aren’t FOSS and probably more expensive than any other text editor, but I’d love to know what they do to have such superior large file performance (the free version is fast, the paid version even supports streaming-loading of parts of the file).

That's only because it doesn't do what editors have to do. Try writing some right-to-left text in lite and see what happens.

Wow, thank you for mentioning EmEditor, I used to keep it as a must-have app when used Windows, preferred it over UltraEdit, EditPlus etc, good memories. Nowadays it's all vscode though.
