[TxMt] Re: Annoying slowdowns of textmate...

[Andrew Farley]

Well, if the devs (or anyone) looks into this or wants to debug/test  
this, I'd be happy to run a debug version of TextMate.

And I have had TextMate crash a few times after not being able to  
recover from a find in project, or cmd-tabbing a lot.  Usually takes  
about 3-4 minutes of it hanging there to crash.  So it is possible  
there is a leak here.  Happy to test!  :)  Hit me up!  :P
