Why is Sublime using significant CPU when idle?

#21

I put the binary_file_patterns thing in place and when I did the restart … boom… upgraded to 3126. Doubly fixed now. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the workaround! My activity monitor was showing ~200 in energy impact and after I created a new Index dir it’s now down to ~30 when idle. Cheers!

Disabling file indexing fixed the problem for me.

Thanks, renaming the Index folder and creating an empty new one brought my CPU usage from 10% down to 0.5%
Worked for me on Ubuntu 17.10 with a 4.10.0-37-generic kernel using Sublime Text 3.0, Build 3143.
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Index

Hope this helps others.

For me it was a plugin: “Vue Syntax Highlight” was burning 2-300% CPU on OSX.
I disabled it with Cmd-Shift-P to bring up the command palette, then Package Control: Disable Package.
