Yes -- there is a troubleshooting page http://macromates.com/wiki/ 
Troubleshooting/FindInProject (and things will be improved in the  
future, but no ETA)

Without extension, TextMate can’t know if the file is binary or not  
-- it uses a heuristic, but apparently that fails in your case. Best  
would be to exclude the folder with the binary files from the project.

I’ve not heard of this problem. If things are slow after switching  
app, it could be because you are low on memory, and it has to swap in  
the switched-to application. But it shouldn’t crash. Is it Terminal  
or the shell (bash) which crashes?
