I know this has been talked about before from various angles and there is a (very poor) workaround in the Textmate FAQ, but I'd like to make sure there are absolutely no more options.
The problem is, as most of you are aware, Textmate refreshes it's project list every time the Textmate window gains focus and any other time the software deems a project refresh necessary.
This is fine for small projects of a few hundred files or less, but it's absolutely asinine for large projects with many files. When I switch back from reading docs in a browser or whatever, I have to wait for several seconds of spinning beach ball while Textmate refreshes the entire project list.
How can I turn this off? Seriously. How can I stop Textmate from automatically refreshing the entire project? I don't mind that it just takes some time to refresh the number of files I have in my project, but I do mine that it thinks it needs to refresh on focus every time. I know when my files get updated and I know what's going on in my project directories. I want to control the refresh so it only happens when IO know files actually change.
(Before you ask, these are local project files and I'm using a year old Macbook Pro with 2GB of ram and a 7200 rpm HD upgrade. This is not a machine or network problem.)
