Big buffers. XEmacs topped out at 1GB buffers (on 32-bit platforms) in 1998 or so, and since then there's been no serious demand for an increase in supported file size -- we never even bothered with large file support on 32-bit platforms. (There was pushback against suggestions that the 31-bit type be characters to directly support the ISO 10646 character model, so some users did care about files bigger than 512MB.) I imagine some people have personal hacks, but as far as I know there is no huge file viewer in our distribution.
