Big buffers. XEmacs topped out at 1GB buffers (on 32-bit platforms)
in 1998 or so, and since then there's been no serious demand for an
increase in supported file size -- we never even bothered with large
file support on 32-bit platforms. (There was pushback against
suggestions that the 31-bit type be characters to directly support the
ISO 10646 character model, so some users did care about files bigger
than 512MB.)
I imagine some people have personal hacks, but as far as I know there
is no huge file viewer in our distribution.
