Sublime text 3 using massive amount of CPU on idle

I'm running Sublime Text 3 on Windows 10, with all my installed packages disabled. On idle, it is taking up ~31% of my CPU with one file opened. This seems like a ridiculous amount for a text editor - why is this?

Solution

  • This seems to be caused by indexing:

    Try adding

    "index_files": false

    in your configuration
