fastloadMATLABopentextfile

I want to open large text files in the MATLAB Editor by double-clicking the desired file in the Current Directory browser. This operation is slower in MATLAB 7.1(R14SP3) as compared to MATLAB 7.0.4(R14SP2).
Occasionally, I will receive the following message:
 Not enough memory to read file contents:
