    I have the same problem with XML too. Notepad++ has a plugin that can format a 50MB XML file in a few seconds. But my current client won’t allow plugins installed. So I have to use VS Code, which chokes on anything bigger than what I could do myself manually if I was determined.

    Given it is a CPU is limiting the parsing of the file, I wonder how a GPU-based editor like Zed would handle it.

    Been wanting to test out the editor ever since it was partially open sourced but I am too lazy to get around doing it

      That’s not how this works, GPUs are fast because the kind of work they do is embarrassingly parallel and they have hundreds of cores. Loading a json file is not something that can be trivially parallelized. Also, zed use the gpu for rendering, not reading files.
