I have noticed this bug.  I have a 5MB document with very long lines.
Each line is approximately a million characters wide.

If you view it with word wrap OFF then the computer becomes very
unresponsive.  Scrolling the scrollbars particularly hangs the computer
for a long time.

I'm on gedit 2.30.4.  I'm using a 15GB machine so manipulating a 5MB
text file should not be causing it to sweat.

I've attached an example file that causes the problem.  Make sure you
view it with text wrap off.
