Sublime Text 2 is running very slowly for me on large text files (1000s of lines of code), and I suspect it is due to the plugins I have installed (like SublimeCodeIntel), particularly the auto-complete. How do I temporarily disable plugins in Sublime Text 2, or even better, automatically disable them only on large files?
Now we know Sublime Text may handle 1GB files, but only the Vanilla version, because if there are more packages installed, they will hang Sublime Text due the issue #1463 Packages are allowed to hang Sublime Text Indefinitely.
Sublime text feels snappy and fast because it has been developed using C++. Compared to that Atom is written in JavaScript which is far slower that C++ in many tasks. As a result sublime text feels and is faster that Atom.
Once Package Control is installed, you can use this to install the below packages as follows: Go to SublimeText – Preferences – Package Control (MAC) or Preferences – Package Control (PC) Choose “Install Package” from the list of options. Find the name of the package you wish to install and select it.
You can also append the following to the settings file if you want to disable the popups whenever a plugin makes sublime slow down (although I'm aware that's not exactly what you're looking for, it may be useful for future Googlers):
"detect_slow_plugins": false
Found it -- if you hit Command-Shift-P (on a Mac), there is a ``Package Control: Disable Package'' option (and a corresponding option for enabling packages again).
