I’ve added it to the relevant to-do. The “open file” code has a 
few issues, so it’s something I’m motivated to refactor.

I think the main problem with large files is (still) the (core) text 
layout which happens in response to Cocoa NSView layout code, which 
happens on the main thread, so rather difficult to allow aborting here.

Another workaround: File → Open Favorites… (⇧⌘O).

Under “Recent Projects” select your folder and press ⌘⌫. That 
will delete the saved state.

For the curious, the saved state is kept in ~/Library/Application 
Support/TextMate/RecentProjects.db.
