saving the file takes time, after all it is going across a network. What I don't understand though is why textmate has to lock itself up while it is saving a file.
But maybe I am going the wrong way about it altogether for working with remote files?
I've found MacFuse / sshfs to be unstable. I've tried several versions and with all of them, I run into something that makes me stop using it for a while. Usually it is something unrecoverable, e.g. my UI locks up and I have no way to escape except to do a forced power-off.
As such I've gone back to using Cyberduck with TextMate as the external editor. It's not as nice, but I don't get a spinning beach ball for 10 seconds every time I save a file, and more importantly I don't get unrecoverable system hang-ups.
I end up trying sshfs now and again as new versions come out, though, because overall I love sshfs. It's just not ready for prime time yet, IMO.
