Hi all,
I'm having problems with big files. TextMate, for me, is practically unuseable for many applications, and I'm not sure wether something is wrong, or I'm just witnessing limitations of the app itself.
TextMate takes upwards of 3 minutes to paste moderately long pieces of text (30-70 KB) without line breaks. I use TextMate to edit Wikipedia entries, which are sometimes badly formated. Thirty thousand characters and not a newline in sight. When I copy texts like that and try to paste them into TextMate, it practically dies. Three times out of five, it won't recover. If it comes back, it's unbearably slow and practically unuseable. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue? I am on a G4 1,25GHz with 1 GB of RAM.
Firefox's textfields can handle pasting and editing of 1MB snippets (I tried) without a hitch, EVEN in those JavaScript rich editor abominations, which probably aren't the most optimized pieces of code ever to parse text. And that's with all the other crap going on, like 10 tabs open and several exensions installed.
What's going on?
