I downloaded a 50 MB CSV file full of russian tweets from NBC [1] in response to your challenge and VSCode opened it nearly instantly (~2 seconds) on my self-built Windows 10 PC with an i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50 GHz with 2 other instances of VSCode already running.

Total memory usage for VSCode processes was 1.5 GB. The other 2 instances of VSCode were debugging a Node.js Express app and editing a rather large React/Redux app.

When VSCode had no other running instances, opening the same file took about .5 seconds longer.

Works fine. VSCode also works fine opening 500mb files. Atom still crashes for me tho.
