I loaded an entire Samba drive as a TextMate project.
Every single time I lose cursor of TextMate to do something else like checking the web browser... and then try to click on TextMate again it gives me a spinning beach ball for 3 seconds.
I was wondering if there was a setting that would make it faster to focus the cursor in TextMate without the 3 second wait each time.
Also of note, if I open the files one at a time and not as an entire project, I don't get this problem, so I assume it has something to do with the number of files loaded in a TextMate project.
Save files when focus is lost
enabled in TextMate's preferences (under Advanced > Saving) which may involve a lot of work as it's trying to figure out what to save. Every time you go back to TextMate, it will also check to see if any of the files on disk have changes since the last window refresh, since it will try to load these seamlessly for you.
