Very slow loading over network
-
I changed from Windows Editor to TextPad to Notepad++ several years ago, as Notepad++ was the only one to load very large log files (100 MB+) quite fast.
This is still true, if the big logfile is on a local drive. But when loading log files over a network share (Windows 10), it is extremely slow! And nope, it’s not the network, because I testet the load times with misc text editors (250 MB text log file, no lexer in Notepad++):
- Windows Edit: 3 seconds (yes, seconds, not minutes!)
- TextPad: 35 seconds
- Notepad++: 5 minutes (yes, minutes, not seconds!)
I testet this several times with the same result and I have no idea why notepad++ loads it very fast when copied the exact same file to a local drive first, but extremely slow pver the Windows network share… ?

I have no experience with processing such large files from a network drive with Npp.
To find out what is going on in such a case, I would run Wireshark and Procmon to track the behavior.
