Sublime Text 2 performance on 13" Retina MBP

gistfile1.md

I love my new 13" rMBP, but there are performance issues here and there - Sublime is definitely one of them. However with a few tweaks I've been able to get performance up to what I would call acceptable.

Steps:

1. Grab the latest build of Sublime (currently 2219); it has retina fixes. http://www.sublimetext.com/nightly
2. Install HEAD of the Soda theme (instructions under "Download Manually"): https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/
3. Make these tweaks to your User Preferences (cmd-,):

{
  "theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme",
  "soda_retina_fix": true,
  // Maybe this GPU acceleration actually does something on the 15" where
  // there's a dedicated card, but it definitely makes things worse on the 13".
  "gpu_window_buffer": false,
  // YMMV - I like Sublime's smooth scrolling, but disabling it here made 
  // things seem a lot snappier.
  "scroll_speed": 0
}

You should now have a much smoother Sublime experience on your Retina MBP.

Thanks much for this! It definitely helps me on my 15" rMBP.

yep, must faster on my Late-2014 MBP with integrated graphics. especially forcing it to max resolution (1920x1080), and running a 2nd external monitor at 1920x1080.

THANK YOU!
