Do you have a feel for how large a file has to be for an IDE to choke on it? My vim setup can open a 13GB file in about ten seconds, with all syntax highlighting, line numbers, etc working. Once the file is open, editing is seamless.

Bitbucket is the biggest offender for me. It starts to disable syntax highlighting and context once the file hits about 500KB, which should be trivial to deal with.
