Same to you: do you actually? Because I don't use a single device where I'm loading more into memory than it's designed for. If you're a 100 tab kind of person, there's help, you don't have to suffer yourself in silence. And if you open so many logs at the same time as to memory constrain the device you're using, that's the proverbial "are you sure you're not doing it wrong?"

So again: which editor are you using that's not currently loading your logs in memory? Because that's still not been answered. Hell even emacs and vim do that, so what are you even doing? what are you using that makes this solution loading data into memory not okay when even the most hardcore unix user's "pry it from my cold dead hands" tools already do exactly the same?
