To my mild surprise, it opened in a few seconds, and while all the fancy checking stuff got disabled, basic syntax highlighting still worked so element tags were colorized. Finding and changing the offending element was not much different from normal. I checked memory usage, expecting it to be astronomical, but it was quite within reason (~3 GB IIRC).
I admit I did not expect it to go that well.

Everybody who worked writing code in the 70s-90s is smirking at “wait over a second”. Back in the day, I used to go get my coffee, shoot the shit in the break room for a few minute, and come back to find my debug runs just starting.
