Description

Describe the bug
Opening a 3GB zip file took like almost a minute on my phone.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Have some big zip file (for me it was a firmware archive downloaded with bifrost)
  2. Open it

Expected behavior
ZArchiver can open it pretty much instantly.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: Xperia 5 V
  • OS: Android 15
  • Rooted: No
  • Version: v3.11.2

Additional context
The fact that the whole UI stalls during the operation (causing the "wait or kill" message to pop up if you click on it multiple times) could be also considered a bug in and of itself.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce opening the reported 3GB zip on Android 15 and observe the UI while it loads; done means large archives open substantially faster without stalling the interface or triggering the wait-or-kill prompt.
