First a little bit about my system.
Mtech M8700 Laptop with 8G ram running Gentoo Linux
/ partition is two msata SSD’s in raid 1. file system is btrfs
/home on its own drive but is not sata (yet).
CPU is 4 core(8 thread) i7-4710MQ @ 2.5GHz
And now the problem im experiencing
Every few seconds while editing source files with sublime text the editor stalls. ill be typing stuff and nothing appears for about a second to a second and a half after which the editor returns to normal for a few seconds.
A few seconds later however and it happens again. The system does not experience any stalls in any application other than ST3, that includes IntelliJ idea, firefox, libreoffice etc etc.
This problem has existed for at least the last 3 versions of st3 but i did not report it because i thought there was something wrong with my laptop., in fact there was something wrong with my laptop so i shipped it back to m-tech and they replaced the keyboard and now the laptop is fine but the stalls keep happening.
