Hi,
After upgrading Sublime Text to build 3103 I’m experiencing significant performance regression, up to the point where Sublime Text hangs indefinitely.
At first I noticed that start-up time increased by an order of magnitude - <1 second to >10 seconds. After that, I noticed that Ctrl+P is also way slower than in the previous build. I suspect that my use-case triggers this - I’m working on a project with ~30K files and ~500K lines of code.
I tried to test this on a clean Sublime Text installation, without any plugins, and encountered an even more severe issue - after adding my said directory to a project, Sublime Text hangs indefinitely. Here’s a screenshot of running strace on Sublime Text when it hangs:
It keeps looping like that indefinitely.
6330 - The main Sublime Text process (subl3)
6342 - A sub-process of plugin_host called process_status
Some more info on my setup:
$ uname -a
Linux malory 4.4.1-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 3 13:12:33 UTC 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Sublime Text installed via AUR (Arch User Repository)
I’ll happily supply any additional details.
Thanks
