Hi,
Is it normal for sublime to read around 5GB of data from hard drive just few minutes after I launch the app?
After normal workday it reaches ~50GB. I work with javascript projects around 3GB in size but most of the files are movies and images which are excluded from indexing.
The computer I work on is Mac Mini (late 2014) with macOS Sierra.

Does it make a difference if you disable all your packages temporarily? I think it’s worth ruling out third party plugins.
(The quickest way to do this I think is to open the Package Control settings, copy the contexts of "installed_packages" and paste into "ignored_packages" in your User settings.)
I think I found the culprit, it’s Find in Files, which I use quite often. The problem is, it’s looking through files event after closing the tab with search results.
EDIT: I added some folders to folder_exclude_patterns and sublime still continues searching after I close the result tab, but now data read is in MBs not GBs.
ah, nice discovery - it seems to do the same on Windows (memory and CPU usage also fluctuates while still searching and makes ST much less responsive). Please can you consider logging it as an issue at https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues
Just added new issue on GitHub, if you’re interested: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1481
Thanks for concern, have a nice day!
