The UI of ST is fantastic and like most people here I love it.

However, opening big files doesn't work too well, it seems the program wants to load the whole file in memory. Any change on that front?

ST4 has a number of performance improvements in relation to large files, but we don't plan on not loading the whole file into memory as this is a core assumption in the entire UI stack.

Could you configure a user setting for max file size? I have clicked very large files by accident plenty of times and it makes ST hang.
