I am fine with it taking as much memory as it took.

It is a great replacement for notepad, but that's what it is. wrong tool otherwise for a large project.

How much memory did it take? I assume that gedit would be very lightweight in terms of memory usage, maybe you hit a memory leak?

Oddly enough, on my machine a fresh gedit instance had bigger memory footprint than modestly tricked out emacs24.
