Joakim is still working on improvements.
meanwhile….
jaclaz, I have used reCsv Editor a few times, and the user interface is very slow, I mean, it responds slowly to the mouse clicks. I don't like it. This is due to Java, right?
I am thinking on de-installing it and Java, and install Open Office instead… I only have disk space for one of the two alternatives.

Sure, and also due to your machine/OS, any "Virtual machine", including java, tends to be much slower than "native", i.e. working at a speed that is a fraction of it, but also the OS that hosts the VM may be part of it.
But don't underestimate the effect of the amount of data you are feeding to it. (see below)

The issue here is that you have ONLY that amount of storage available, before anything else you need more storage.
I am assuming you are using some form of NT OS and that you are using NTFS formatted storage, as a rule of thumb a NTFS volume filled more than - say - 90% starts to slow down until it becomes a crawl.
In any case don't expect a spreadsheet (which is NOT a database) to be "fast" with that number of rows.
If you prefer, it is possible that Libre office "calc" (or whatever it is called nowadays) will be slow as well, or even slower (though for different reasons) and also might need such an awful amount of RAM that you will be swapping to hard disk a lot, the pagefile will attempt to grow (if set to "windows managed" or "automatic") and having no space to do so on disk, it will eventually crash (if set to fixed size it will crash before and more "nicely").
It's a bit of time I don't follow the evolution of Libre Office, the old Open Office was a memory eater.

But the problem is that reCsv Editor is slow at everything, even before loading any csv file. it is slow even responding to a click of the mouse.
anyway, I will stay where I am, because reCsv Editor works, and can display the data correctly.
And thus, I ensure that I will be able to keep testing with joakim.
