Suggestion: let people know about how better Cuda can handle mass replace now

[pintassilgo]

I compared a few editors in the task of replacing 25K single-char matches by two-chars-string in a 1.5MB file with a line with 800K chars. Running on x64 Linux. Results:

• SciTE: after 6min I could see the replaced text, but editor was still unresponsive (frozen). Awaited 6 more minutes and nothing changed, so I had to kill the window/process.
• Kate: complained about line length, took a long time to open the file, very poor performance while it was open... I couldn't even try replacing, it was unusable.
• Sublime4: crashed after 4 min processing the replace.
• Sublime3: it took 2min30s to replace, the best one after Cuda.
• Notepad++ with Wine: froze while replacing. I waited for 6 minutes but was still unable to do anything after that, so I had to quit.
• Cuda: did the task in 1 second.

When you have time, I suggest you to write a note about that in CudaText VS other editors, maybe even write a word about great speed/performance in stressful cases (mass replace in big file, handling big lines and big files) in Cuda's website, as this being one of its features/advantages.

Wiki - i am going to add the new topic to https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText_VS_other_editors#CudaText_performance , as copy/paste of your 1st/2nd paragraph from this issue. you can improve the 1st post (e.g. menition more apps?) or leave it as is..

Oh, please add versions of apps! Linux versions are often not latest, becase packaging takes time.

Oh, how did you test NP++ under Linux?

What RAM does your PC have? what CPU?

[pintassilgo]

Cuda 1.211.0.0
SciTE 5.4.1
Sublime 4 4169
Sublime 3.2.2
Kate 23.08.4
Notepad++ 8.6.4

Ryzen 5 1600, 2x16GB = 32GB.

Just install Wine package, then right-click Np++ setup and choose 'run with Wine', or unpack the portable and do the same with notepad++.exe.
