I'll toss in my vote for STPage, also at atari.archive.
Small (<13K) and quite fast; I can't compare it to any of the commercial 
stuff, but it's much faster than anything else I've seen that's PD; paging
down through a file is very quick, and searches are also.  The only complaint
I have had is that it doesn't recognize tab characters; if it reads one in
a file, it deletes it, and if you use the tab key, it inserts the spaces 
needed to get to the tab stop rather than an actual tab character.  
The editor has a lot of features for such a small program: search/replace/
delete/move/copy etc.  It isn't Gem based, but does have easily used drop
downs and uses the GEM file selector.

I searched for quite a while for a small, fast editor to use for my 
source code, and I haven't found one better than this.
