crashes when opening large files

    I had v3.x for a long time... and I recently had to open some huge text files (~330mb)
    and it would partly open it (I would be able to see the text in the editor) and then a pop up would say something like 'there is not enough storage to complete the process'. when I click on that popup, notepad++ would automatically close.
    but at least it would exit beautifully and until I click on it, I would be able to see the text that it had load upto that point.

    so, I thought maybe the latest version of notepad++ would perform better.. so I just installed v4.8.5 and now it just crashes with a windows message (error code 6100) when I try to open that same text file.

    is there any effort being put into notepad++ for viewing large files?
    if not, can someone suggest a good editor for huge files?

    thanks,
