Hi Allan, finally found a speck of time to verify this. You're right. Without opening a window TextMate 2 does not use discrete graphics. After opening the first window TextMate 2 goes into 'High Performance GPU' mode.

By the way, you're far from alone. Right now I got XCode, Twitter and the Arduino IDE using 'significant energy'.

I'm quite content thus far! :)

Cheers!
