Kate has its own paging code. It reads chunks of the file and may save the 
processed data to disk. It doesn't try to keep the entire Unicode decoding of 
the file in memory, much less the entire rendered data.

That's the kind of stuff that QPlainTextEdit does not have. It was never meant 
to be used with huge files.
