It’s useful to see the progress of a command while it runs. Presumably that is a matter of performance, to keep TM well-behaved when it’s in the background.

<p dir="auto">Correct, for example when people do <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">git rebase …</code> the document may see a lot of updates, and we do not want to reload all of them, especially not if the user has local changes (as we may then get merge conflicts on each update).</p>
<p dir="auto">But completely suppressing updates might be too pessimistic, so I’ll look into having it update e.g. 3 seconds after last change. I want to do similar for SCM, where we also suppress updates when TextMate is in the background, but that does bother me a bit (as I’d prefer to see the file browser update, as I commit files from the terminal etc.).</p>
