Please describe the problem:
gedit seems to use an insane amout of cpu each time you save a document. I'd like to know if there is a specific reason for that.
I mean, if I actually *noticed* a global performance hit evertime gedit saves, there must surely be some hidden monster that needs optimization in the code?

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a plain text file in gedit and bluefish*
2. make some modifications in them
3. save in gedit
4. save in bluefish

my documents typically have 9000 characters (1500 words) and weigh <10 KiB. This is not taking into account documents that need syntax highlighting such as html or python files.

Actual results:
gedit shows a big cpu usage for about 2-5 seconds (according to the sys monitor applet and my cpu fan), whereas bluefish does not

Expected results:
do not use a lot of cpu, or at least don't make my computer lag behind when I am typing :)

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
I use autosave (this happens even without it), I have pentium M processors (>1.7 Ghz) and plenty of ram.
