Hi,
AntConc is really designed for just a few million-word corpora. Also, it assumes that each corpus file is quite small. That's why you will find it hangs on 100+ word corpora. Saying that, I'm now working on a new version that will (hopefully) handle 100+ corpora smoothly. I'll announce it here when its ready.
