Freeze on replace all in a large file

[ft-ph]

Hi,

Sublime always delivered top performance. I have just updated to the newest 3.2, opened large file and tried to perform simple replacement of commas to tabs. There are 109218 matches. Sublime freezes for at least 16 minutes.

Is it normal behaviour or is there something wrong with performance?
I have also checked Atom. It performed the operation in a few minutes. It surprised me as Sublime was always much faster.

If helpful I can attach archived file.

regards

does disabling incremental diffs make a difference?

Disable git gutter drawing

It is a feature, that can be controlled by a setting, that incremental diffing doesn't have any reliance on Git. You can, however, restrict it to only be shown for files in a Git repo. The docs for Incremental Diff are at https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/incremental_diff.html.

Thank you for your answer.

Not really. With enabled 119916 matches in the CSV file are processed in 23m13s and with “auto” (effectively disabled) 22m16s.

By way of investigation try setting the syntax of the file you’re working on to ‘Plain Text’.

ok thank you qgates for your help

As the file was CSV Sublime has set Plain Text syntax by itself.

I presume ‘highlight matches’ is switched off in the S&R panel? If that’s inadvertently enabled it will slow high volume searches in large files considerably.
