So everytime I start SublimeText 3 (Build 3208) I see the cursor blinking, but while Plugins are being “reloaded” there is 1-2s lockup that locks up the entire UI. The cursor stops blinking and any text you may have been typing starts being read from input. Tried SublimeText on Windows and this issue doesn’t happen. Any ideas how to debug this?
Lockup for 1s everytime on start

It’s probably some package’s initialization code blocking the main thread. How many packages do you have installed?

Well, not that much, in fact 
You may try the exclusion method - disabling plugins one by one, or, say, in packs of three, then restart ST and see if the problem remains. To disable plugin you do not have to uninstall it. Just go to the settings file (Preferences -> Settings), and, in the right-side view, add list of packages to be ignored, like this:
"ignored_packages":
[
"0_package_control_loader",
"Golang Tools Integration",
"HexViewer"
]
Save and restart ST, etc.
Note that in your list above you have the list of all plugin files, not just the list of packages. You should add names before the dots only into the ignored_packages.

Just as a note, it’s probably not a good idea to add 0_package_control_loader to the list of ignored packages; that is a special meta-package that Package Control creates to allow packages to load their dependencies. If you ignore it, any package that depends on an external library will likely fail to load properly, which may obscure your testing.
