Opening LaTeX files slower than in Version 2.0

[ckunte]

It appears that opening LaTeX files in Sublime Text 3 is much slower than in Version 2. Would appreciate if speed improvements are extended to LaTeX files too, please. Thank you.

my understanding is that only the first LaTeX file you open after opening ST should be slow, but after that, subsequent files should be much quicker - I know the devs are aware of it and are thinking about how best to fix it

Opening small file now takes noticeably longer?

Interestingly the regex cache (data folder Cache/LaTeX/LaTeX.sublime-syntax.rcache) is 9.4MB! The C++ one is 600K. I think this is probably what I need to investigate. Most likely restoring all of the syntax memory structures from disk is taking a good chunk of time with LaTeX. This seems also to happen with Objective-C++, although to a lesser degree (5MB).
