Sublime text took too much CPU bandwidth

#1

I have a project with many files (tens thousands). Every time I open the project, it consumed all CPU bandwidth. Make the computer unresponsive. If the Sublime needs to index all files, wouldn’t it do it once and save the index file somewhere?

When I open the console, there are thousands of error messages. Most of them look something like this.

FSEventStreamStart failed on path (FSEventStreamCreate returned 0xXXXXXXXX).

What went wrong? How can I fix it?

OS: MacOS version 10.15.7
Sublime Text build 4107
The whole project stores in external SSD.

Thanks for the info. I have downloaded 4110. It shows the same problem. What other information you need?

I’d suggest submitting a bug report (with as much details as you can) here https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues so that the devs can look at it and it isn’t lost here.
