Not only big source files, well there was this source (Build 
engine from Ken Silverman 2 or 3 big C files). But one thing 
there is more common is to open big log files which use to be a 
pain in some code editors.

But yes, maybe is not something common, what could be common is 
to open a project with a lot of files to parse. But maybe with AI 
this could be resolve differently these days.
