you're probably right, but i've seen a huge difference in memory use 
between ted and abiword when opening large docs. perhaps it has to do 
with the handling of images, or maybe ted creates a separate text widget 
for every line of text in the entire document at once? you can hardly 
even open the readme file in ted on a 32 meg machine without swap, while 
i never had a problem with abiword despite the fact that ted uses less 
memory to begin with.
