I don't think anything can get much faster than TMLookup, but … TMLookup is for bilingual resources (tabbed text and TMX), while AntConc is for monolingual txt files. That is, they are two very different programs.

Dear Michael,
First off, THANK YOU very much indeed for your informative comment.
Can't I use TMLookup _ because of its satisfying speed and support for massive files_ for building and working with monolingual corpora?
Best,

Not sure about how AntConc compares to TMLookup, but you can (kind of) make a monolingual database with TMLookup if you want to.
Recommended procedure:
Create a two-column database, uncheck the option to add a source column and name your second column source.
Then, when importing your files, add the file name or as the source information. You can't create a db with only one column; this way at least there will be something useful in the second column.
