tried opening a 400.000+ line file in duin and.... it worked kinda well. lmao
suuuure the cpu usage went up to 114% in btop and yeahhhhh it was using a lot of memory (not as much as firefox though), buuuuuut i didn't see any lag really
i should still probably add a 'wow. file's big bro' warning though

and i should probably say: i haven't optimised duin at all lol. there's a lot of code i'm sure could be done better, but there's probably even more improvements that i don't know

so idk maybe duin will be one of those editors that can open big files just fine? would be awesome if true

(not as much as firefox though)

did you try opening the 400.000+ line file in firefox? :)

another stress test i recommend is opening a file with one or more very long lines, such as an executable binary file. win10 notepad.exe's word wrapping suffers a lot in such files, especially when the window (i guess that's equivalent to your terminal's viewport) is resized causing all word wrap points to be recalculated.

i tried opening the duin executable inside of duin, but it didn't seem to bad - the memory goes up to like 65M and cpu to 40%
might be because duin doesn't actually wrap words yet though lol (the rendering really really sucks)

as for firefox, it's badddd lol
it goes to 40% cpu usage when i scroll through the file, and the memory usage gets even higher than usual >~<
