I have a log file:
07/20/2016 11:37 AM 10,487,407,894 log9.txt
I opened it in Slick.
Slick is hung.
PROCMON shows that Slick is reading 8KB chunks from log9.txt, but then writing in 14,960 byte chunks to the slk temp file.
It it progressing at about 21MB/s (this is on an SSD).

It seems to be making more than one pass ....
When I first loaded this file is was much smaller.
I did a "Readload with encoding utf-8" (It defaulted to sbcs/dbcs).
After restarting slick, and opening this file with encoding sbcs/dbcs, it now doesn't behave so badly.
