I also want it to be able to smoothly handle text files of at least 10's of KB, maybe even 100's - Notes is especially poor once it reaches 8KB for me.

LeafPad appears to be plain text only, whereas I'd like some minimal basic formatting (bold, italic, etc).

Or you could always learn LaTeX. IIRC there is an import filter for that format for OO.o.
If it's only for printing, how about my suggestion for QuickScript in this thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...newpost&t=2957

It really is just notes with basic formatting.
I suppose I *could* come up with my own markup (* / _ for bold, italic, underline, for example), and then run a perl script to put in the required HTML tags, and THEN import it into OpenOffice.

Of course, if you're writing a Perl script, you could just s/ / /g on a Notes file, but how well it'll work with the rest of your requirements I don't know.
https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284 was my attempt to get Notes' HTML formatting improved, to no visible success :-(
