UltraEdit is disk based. This means it only loads small portions of the file at once into memory so it does not use all the memory and stop other applications from running. However, it does make a temporary copy of the file to achieve this and this can take time for large files.<\/p>\n<p>As of UltraEdit v2023.1, you can enable large file mode by setting the file size threshold and choosing which features are disabled to save valuable system resources for large files by navigating to Advanced \u00bb Settings \u00bb File handling \u00bb Large files.<\/p>\n<p><span>For all previous versions, there are several options you can change to optimize the handling of large files.
