disassembly (x86 and AMD64)
- Instant opening regardless of file-size
(>4GB is no problem, if it fits on a disk/drive you can open it)
- Files opened in HxD are shared liberally but safely with other applications
- minimal locking with caching to release the file whenever possible
- Fast searching: forward, backwards or from beginning
