No IMO the problem is that a LyXText object is allocated at that time!

No the step 4 memory usage is only generated by the undo!

Well before we had 1 paragraph it doesn't matter how many cells a tabular
had (just 1 NEWLINE char per empty cell), now we have 1 InsetText, 1 or
more LyXParagraphs, 1 LyXText this all per cell!
The memory usage IS high and we really should try to reduce it. I'm open
for ideas (well we already had one in not to preserve the 500 bytes per
paragrap, did you test that in memory consuption?)

Over the years, I've developed my sense of deja vu so acutely that now
I can remember things that *have* happened before ...
