I find I occasionally look at "huge" text files in my day job, but they're almost never source files -- so I don't need syntax highlighting, jump to definition, etc.

Is this something you do often in your C++ development?

I work with data, so it's not uncommon to load a large file either deliberately or accidentally. Highlighting isn't the issue. Even a CSV on the order of 100-200MB kills VS code dead. I assume this is because it's an electron app. Other apps do not have this problem.
