I think you may be right in thinking that the replace function has a particular problem with non-text items. For example, one search and replace that ran extremely slowly on a 5 Mb file and then locked the computer involved finding the tab and newline combination tn and replacing it with the pipe character |. The same operation ran almost instantly in NoteTab Pro, even though it involved over 20,000 replacements. It ran quite quickly in Boxer, but never concluded as the maximum line length was then exceeded. It also failed to finish in TextPad, causing the program to freeze.
