Opening small file now takes noticeably longer?

#21

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).

The source of this is a combination of the current implementation of include rules and the fact that LaTeX includes a whole bunch of other full syntaxes for highlighting inside of code blocks.

This is further compounded by syntaxes that have large regexes for matching identifiers from the stdlib (like Objective-C and PHP), that are then transitively included in multiple other contexts.

Iā€™m looking into optimizations to help improve this moving forward.

Hello again! Just checking to see if there are any updates on this? Is this the best place to check on that or is there a corresponding github issue that I can subscribe to?

Thanks!

I know that Will has made some changes so that the LaTeX regex cache is about 60% of the size it was (it will take effect in the next build). Iā€™m not aware of a GitHub issue tracking this atm.
