My markdown files struggle to open (.md files are slow to open). The same size file has no problem loading instantly as a .txt / .tex / .rst / .py and so forth. Is there a simple reason as to why this only happens with markdown file types? This seems to be a new problem as I do not recall having this issue in the past. Maybe I just now started noticing or my files are simply too large (30,000 words). I know I can and should break them up, but I like my current workflow and do not want to break up my files if I don’t have to.
I tried multiple tests before submitting this issue. I completely uninstalled and installed a fresh version with zero extensions and zero customizations. On both a mac and pc with high specs (i7, 16gb).
It’s just a bit frustrating because vscode and vim handled this same file with blazing speed and performance. The only issue is that I love sublime text. I have used it faithfully over the past 7 years and do not want to switch to a different editor.
This is not an isolated incident or file. I ran this test creating different files, not just using the same file over and over again. You should be able to replicate the issue easily by adding text to a file and saving as .txt and .md and then opening it with sublime. Watch the sublime text open with a status bar while the text file will open immediately or compare to opening in vim or vscode (vim opens it lightning fast).
Anyway, I do not want to give up on sublime text but this is enough for me to switch to another editor so hopefully someone can help me understand this delay when opening a .md file.
Thanks for your time.
