This software uses MASM32 as the programing language, and it is super lightweight and fast. It has many similar features as Akelpad. Besides, it has some advanced features, which Akelpad does not include.

In fact, the author is a Chinese programer and stopped develop it in 2004. It is a pity.

see AkelPad Classic. Do you think program witten on ASM will be faster than the same program written on C?

BTW: it uses RichEdit and its executable packed.

I have tested NoteXpad long ago. And I give it up before I begin use some other Editors and Akelpad. And now I keep Akelpad for my everyday use.

NoteXpad could not open Unicode_BE, and could open Unicode_LE and UTF-8 without BOM correctly.
And many other outdate designs……Test a large text file 3Mb+, Find and Replace something in NoteXpad, it go "dead"!!!

My God, Forgive and forget it right now!

And so will I. AkelPad has worked out better for me than any other text editor I've ever tried for everyday use. It gives me options that I NEED! And it's quite fast enough, thankee.

ETA: In fast, NoteXPad is a little pain in the parts. About all I like about it is that it installed without any fuss. It's a pesky single window, nothing but glaring white background (my eyesight demands something else), and it keeps rousing the ire of my firewall! Well, it has not messed with my context menu, that's a point.
