Realistically, unless you're browsing log files or some globbed together generated code, I would lay money that 95% of usage of programmers editors are under 2000 lines.

If you're optimizing for a 2 GB apache log, you're probably focusing on the wrong thing.

Exactly. I'd rather keep my editor simple than worry about use cases like that. Of course I'm happy some editors do the work to handle large files too, in part because that makes it ok for me to ignore it since I have fallbacks.
That, or, if you're looking at a single json response body...
