Are you sure text mode is fine? I usually have to use fundamental mode to edit big files (more than a dozen MBs or so).

Yup. Text mode is fine. If that's causing problems, perhaps you have things enabled in your config that causes problems?

As an example, I have anzu minor mode selected. So if I try to search in the 800MB file, it hangs until I cancel.
