My interpretation of this console output is that TextMate was trying to acquire over a gigabyte of memory with a single request. Not clear (a) why this much would be needed for a slightly over 500mb file
Because TextMate uses UCS-2 (or UTF-16) as internal representation, taking up two bytes per character.
But it's definately fair to say, especially on 'slower' machines (I have a 1GHz G4, 768MB ram), that TextMate currently performs quite poorly on large files.
