> This would also be too slow. The user may want to jump from line 1 to line 999999. You can't do a file load fast enough.

My text editor supports files up to 256 GB in size, unless you have that much memory, you’ll have to wait a little bit to go from the first to the last line.

I use UltraEdit, it opens files way beyond hundreds of GB without issues, both text and binary (in hex edit mode). Love that editor for over 10 years (perpetual license) on Windows, Mac and Linux. See the video loading a 35GB text file: https://www.ultraedit.com/support/tutorials-power-tips/ultra...
