I have the same problem, and I have found one interesting detail: Gedit works fine if the file contains relatively short lines. In this mode, Gedit can open very large files (more than 100 MB). If the lines are long, Gedit freezes (and sometimes crashes) on a 4 MB file. Option "word wrap" no significant impact on productivity.
