CotEditor ? Don't have such a file, so can not try...

I've used sublime to open logs even up to 500Mb with no problems, are you sure it's an app problem?

BBEdit as SparkyGrass13 has recommended is ideal. I have opened 1GiB log files in it, without choking.

BBEdit, which should be able to handed that size. If you need larger, look at UltraEdit but it isn't cheap.

Sublime text is really sublime, handles files of 300MB with ease

UltraEdit works well for large files.

I found coteditor a few weeks ago… for me it is perfect! Syntax highlighting, lots of customization and completely FREE!

Or… if you just want plain text… maybe the default TextEdit. Its quite fast and really lightweight!

What you’ve replaced DO2 with?

I use TextMate for most things.

I’ve recently opened a 500mb log file with Sublime Text. Never had an issue with it. Maybe it comes down to your machine?
