I have a folder with 600k text files. When I open it with Sublime Text, it beachballs. I tried twice and quit after 10 minutes.

System specs: MacBook Air running macOS Catalina on a 2.2Ghz Dual-core i7 with 8GB of 1600 Mhz DDR3 Ram with a 500GB Apple SSD using APFS.

Are there any plans to support this kind of use case?

Can you check if the same problem persists if you set index_files as false in your Preferences.sublime-settings - User ?

@UltraInstinct05 I am trying that now. After 1 minute it is still loading but so far no beachball, which is an improvement. Will report back when it finishes.

Could you run Sample Process in Activity Monitor?

Awesome, thanks. This has been fixed for the next version of Sublime Text.
