I love TextMate, but …

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

… but it has taken almost 2 hours now to do a simple find and replace in a (admittedly 400k lines long) single file.

That is very inefficient.

In other news, if you tried to access this server this morning, you likely couldn’t. Why?

$ uptime
19:50:39 up 152 days, 3:40, 4 users, load average: 0.68, 31.71, 64.91

That is *not* what one wants to see. A runaway image resize daemon was to blame. Couldn’t even run ssh; had to drop to console over IP and kill the offending processes, then restart ssh et al.

I want some better hardware … and I really should reboot one of these months.

Update: I ended up killing TextMate and rethinking my methods.

Thank you TextMate

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Thank you TextMate for rendering my computer unusable for 5 minutes, taking every last byte of RAM available and swapping every other process out while you apparently loaded every file in my project into memory at once (including multi-hundred-MB log files) and then leisurely (but disk- and CPU-intensively) sifted through it after I had the temerity to actually use your “search in project” function.

Next time I’ll remember to use git grep. Oh, and now I love how TM is still using 708M of memory (RSIZE) even after I’ve closed everything.

Isn’t TM about due for an update? How about better memory management and a way to exclude folders from search for starters?
