Even the venerable "ed" handles files of those sizes without batting
an eye.  I just opened a 2MB XML file (50k lines) in ed and jumped
all around in it with no trouble at all.  It's as simple as

  1;/class OptionMenu/;/def destroy/

in most cases.  If your editor can't help you do simple things like
that, I recommend you find an editor that is at least as good as
ed. :-)
