I'm having trouble finding anything in the source tree, but searches on "QTextEdit" and "QPlainText" fail, so it's maybe not using Qt's very competent text edit classes? The Readme indicates Qt is used, it would be odd not to use the built-in (but highly customizable) editor which supports a syntax analyzer and lots of other things you would think this project needs.

I checked with heaptrack, the big allocation seems to be within scintilla data structures (which should be the same on notepad++ if I'm not mistaken ?). So likely some suboptimal thing here like having some cache somewhere which does not matter for the average text file.

The screenshot mentions Scintilla, which is a popular text-editing widget (https://www.scintilla.org/).
