Is there any plugin to support lirge files, like log files of few MB in size? Though this editor is really elegant, it's performance is not impressive while handling large files.

Nope at this point. However, there are pleny of free, reliable utilities on the Net that will do it. I didn't check, but I believe some will be smart enough to cut files at line breaks - I had an old DOS tool that was doing it, so I assume ithe functionality is available.

If you search he forums for "large files", you'll see this topis discussed many times.
Notepad++ provides, through Scintilla, rich text rendering and editing. This is what the component it uses are geared for. As a result, memory usage is high, and thus limits the ability to load large files on any given system. What "large" means depends on the available system resources.
Can't you chainsaw the large log file into managable chunks to be loaded one at a time?

Thanks for your reply. Is there any option in Notepad++ to chainsaw... like load n MBs max in one go and then fetch next if needed?
