I downloaded the file (it requires to execute some Javascript from
Google Inc. to get to the real link).

The file extension is ".txt.lisp"; it contains 3 lines, and is about
950MB.  The whole content is on the second lines, the 2 other ones being
only a few char long.

Using GNU Emacs 29.2 (emacs -Q), opening it literally when asked, then
moving to the end (M->) is instantaneous for me.

Hoping this help,

Bruno
