Emacs' use of tagging limits its maximum file size pretty significantly on 32-bit systems. IIRC the limit is like 24MB.

Definition of software bloat - see "Emacs" (veering off-topic) Posted Feb 29, 2008 1:54 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Waaaay bigger than that. GNU Emacs uses (IIRC) four bits as tag bits, limiting Emacs int size and buffer size to 2^28 (256Mb). XEmacs is somewhat less limited in this area, but a limit still applies.
