I stopped using HxD, for only one reason (it WAS a good hex editor):
It took SO daggum LONG to start up, on my 2.8 GHz, dual-core Pentium 4 PC!
There's just something wrong with that particular program, IMO, if that is the case.
1. It's not that big of a program.
2. It does not consume that much memory.
3. It doesn't load the entire contents of very large files, further conserving memory.
It just...runs slow, and is often unresponsive when attempting to shut it down.
I jumped ship to a little program called Frhed (stands for Free Hex Editor). It opens instantly, and has the same exact features (and then some) of HxD, with an even smaller memory footprint. Plus, it has a cooler desktop icon than HxD...Tempus fugit, ergo, carpe diem.
Time flies, therefore, seize the day.
