Open large files in Vim with care

If you want to load a large file in Vim you should disable the swap file to speed things up. It’s simple to do as well:

Vim -n file.txt

If a file is over 4096K or so and I have enough system RAM (not usually a problem) I’ll do it this way as it avoids Vim creating a potentially huge .swp file.
