Threaded reading and displaying

[RichardAD]

When viewing big files, say 300MB to 2GB in size, there will be a delay between 'Open' and then seeing the contents. The impression I get is that a big amount of data is read in, processed in some way and then displayed. It would be great if the viewing could start right away as the early parts of the file are read-in.

There shouldn't be much of a delay - at least no more than a second or two.

If you find that the delay is noticeable, make sure that File Chunks are enabled (in the More Options section of Preferences).

If you still think it is slow, make the chunk size smaller.
