I just opened a 49.8MB log file and the ST3 beta took 6 seconds to open it. The app can open/edit other files while this initial loading happens.
For fun I tried some other editors (this is on OS X):
BBEdit 10.5: instant
vim 7.3: instant
TextEdit 1.8: instant
Textmate 2.0.0a9351: hung the entire app for 15 seconds
ST2: 9 seconds
So yeah, ST3 still seems to fare pretty poorly in this regard.
- swah 14y agoProbably something related to the new symbol parsing?
- Dirlewanger 14y agoDoubt it. Problem exists in ST2 as well. I have a ~200MB ETL file I've been working with recently...takes ST2 around 20 seconds to open it.
- SCdF 14y agoBah, yeah, so that's my biggest gripe with ST.. it seems to want to load the whole file into memory before it lets you work with it. I'm not sure if that's a philosophical thing or a limitation of how ST works, but it's really annoying. If he worked out a robust way to have file open performance on par with the likes of vim then I'd upgrade in a heartbeat.
