I don’t open big files at all. There’s no point. Files exist as data made to be transformed from one form to another. It is only worth looking at a file in its final form unless you are making some kind of edit.

And even then, I make edits on large files through a series of commands, never opening the file.

By thinking of files in this way, it becomes easy to create programmable tool chains for manipulation.
