Really? I loaded a 1.2GB ISO in the demo and it used… 1.2GB of RAM. (At least it worked though, coughAtomcough.) And more importantly it has no unicode support whatsoever as far as I can tell (any non-ASCII characters I typed showed up as ?).

And what you expect here? Other editors usually take 2x to 3x of file size.

mmap doesn't help much if you do syntax highlighting or other formatting.
