This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Notepad.exe is like the one thing I can always count on to open and edit text and save and that's it. Looking forward to it crashing, hanging, and generally sucking.

Those stats are hardly concerning without context IMHO.
I use notepad almost daily and I haven't noticed any crashing or slow downs. Not all increases in size are bloated I find many of the features they added to be extremely useful and 3MB is hardly consequential
