How is text in a VisLargeText stored?



Q. If I read a large text file into a single region of a VisLargeText 
   object, will all of the text be in memory at once, or is the text object 
   smart enough to keep some text on "disk" instead of on the heap?

A. The text object takes care of intelligently managing the HugeArray in
   which the text is stored, so that only as much text is in memory as is
   needed. The fact that the text is all within the same region should
   make no difference.
