In my personal experience, SciTE is excellent.  Even WordPad doesn't
have that limitation (though last I checked it still has a memory leak
that was present in the Write program from which it evolved, back in the
Windows 3.x days -- not my favorite tool for reading text files).

Others may offer other suggestions.

I haven't checked in depth on what exactly limits Notepad -- whether
it suffers hardcoded limitations or the limits have something to do with
system RAM.  I just know that significant filesizes and line lengths
tend to cause it to "puke", as 'twere, when other text editing
applications don't have that problem.
