I think emacs in practice would give different results than this as you'd typically use it with server mode. There's also addon tools like vlfi if you're editing very large files on a regular basis. I'd be more interested in ~200MB instead of 3 GB as I find myself more frequently opening log files and XML exports in the 100-500MB range.

Not that different; Emacs without complex ~/.emacs.d/init.el loads quite quickly (in unscientific testing on my dev VM with a cold cache, 214ms for "emacs -nw -Q -e 'kill-emacs'").
