Loading a 20+ megabyte file

[chrismhopkins]

I know this is probably pushing things but we are constantly working with 20+ megabyte files on my project. Is there anything I can do to increase the performance of Oxygen when working with these files other than:

1) Increasing the memory parameter - I've put it up to 1 gig
2) Turning off anti-aliasing

Just to push things further I'm running on a laptop. It's a bruiser though...Dell M90 with 2 gig of RAM and a 2.16Ghz Duo CPU.

Anything else I can do?

thanks,
chris

One other thing to mention. I can live without validation, color syntaxing, etc. I just want to be able to open up the file, pretty print if necessary and expand/collapse/search.

Hello,

Just to push things further I'm running on a laptop.

If you run an oXygen version older than 7.2 and the laptop runs on batteries you should add the parameter -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true to the startup script.

Disable Validate as you type in Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Document Checking.

Another thing to look for is to see if your files have long lines. In that case it is recommended to turn on the format and indent on document open option.
