First of all, the program is called "GNU Image Manipulation Program" or short "GIMP", but not "The GIMP". Then, you need to understand that GIMP will use as much memory as it needs to hold the image data and that includes undo. The amount of memory used for undo can be limited in the Preferences. You can also control how much of the pixel data is actually kept in virtual memory (that's RAM and swap) by setting the size of the tile-cache. Pixel data that doesn't fit into the tile-cache will have to be swapped out to a file. Use of such a swap-file will slow things down dramatically. Up to the point where any operation that needs access to all data (such as saving your images) takes very long.
