I have been using Sublime (build 3126) on my Ubuntu machine and it's been working well. I went away on vacation for a week and since I came back, it's been extremely laggy--even just typing in my text file has a significant delay.

My project is quite large with many files, but no more than before I left. Opening a clean window outside of my project lags the same anyway.

I have already tried disabling all third party plugins, uninstalling and reinstalling, and uninstalling and trying Sublime Text 2. Nothing has helped.

This is my first Ubuntu machine so outside of performing all the updates and emptying the trash (which I've done) I'm not sure what other things are good to try. Nonetheless, the computer works fine elsewhere. EDIT: My terminal application seems a little sluggish, but I probably wouldn't have even noticed without the Sublime issue.

Here's the output from top:

Sublime Text is probably indexing the files in your project. You can ignore folders, e.g. third party libraries, to speed up the indexing.

You can add this to your User Settings:

"folder_exclude_patterns": [
  "bower_components/**",
  "node_modules/**",
  "vendor/**"
]

However, this will also hide the folders from the sidebar. You can instead use binary_file_patterns to exclude the files from being indexed, while still being displayed in your sidebar.

"binary_file_patterns": [
  "bower_components/**",
  "node_modules/**",
  "vendor/**"
]

The last resort is to disable indexing altogether, but this will disable some Sublime Text most useful features.

"index_files": false
