Hi Eli,

"Disk based text editing - supports files in excess of 4GB, minimum RAM
used even for multi-megabyte files" (from Ultraedit feature list)

UE doesn't read a file as an whole into an memory buffer, only
parts. When scrolling down to a certain degree, UE reads the next
chunk from disk, and so on. Therefore the 4GB without 4GB memory.
