BBEdit Is Still Fast

Actually BBEdit is still fast. More than 10 years ago (July 1997), On ATPM’s “Review :BBEdit 4.0.4″:

This review really wouldn’t be complete without mentioning BBEdit’s
incredible speed. While many of our readers might not consider speed to
be a noteworthy trait for a text editor, I could easily find programs
that deal with text in a drudgingly slow manner (Microsoft Word 6.0
comes to mind). BBEdit’s speed is apparent in every task it achieves,
from scrolling, to searching and replacing, to formatting HTML to
executing macros, BBEdit is the fastest text editor on the face of the
planet, and without question the fastest HTML editor in the universe.

Even today, open a 200mb plain text file in both BBEdit and TextMate, scroll up and down, you’ll see what I mean.
