I believe it loads the list of file names, then sniffs in the background. Or it has done that anyway, I think the background sniffing was disabled for a while, but is back now. Erm, I think. I half-remember someone saying that it had some rules to stop sniffing for network shares. but I can't find a link :-( How about trying a live CD of the current Ubuntu or similar and benchmarking the gedit there? That's probably the safest way to check the speed of the current version.
