Running Sublime Text in Bash is very slow #1047
Comments
Yes, there is a lot to improve on WSL filesystem performance. For now make sure your files are on I think GUI tearing in X servers is normal. As Sublimetext uses Gtk, window rendering won't be accelerated as an OpenGL application would. |
Sublime build 3114 is snappy here -- no screen tearing even on 100k line files and a ginormous C++ tree. No lag. This is with VcXsrv 1.18.3.0. WSL build 14915, but it's been fine since here. My machine is five years old with spinning disk; nothing special there. One catch is I don't have any Sublime plugins installed. It's probably not X -- you can stream videos in VLC without lag. How do other applications fare, like scrolling a very long web page in Firefox? Are you running inside or outside of Unity/Compiz? |
I have not experienced any sluggishness. I worked with Sublime from Bash most of the weekend, and I was pretty happy with it. Sorry I don't have something helpful for you, @laggingreflex. |
Sounds like an issue in VcXsrv. What's your
|
This issue has since been solved for me after upgrading to a newer build. My Thanks, all! |
is this still the case in 2022? |
@abdularif0705 Yes. Devs made some small optimizations but why mnt folders are so slow in WSL2 was explained here #4197 (comment) |
I've installed and running Sublime Text from Bash itself, as suggested here, using VcXsrv.
I'm noticing a lot of lag. In rendering basic GUI, like scrolling causes screen tearing.
And it takes a lot of time to build the file list in the sidebar, especially if the directory list is long like node_modules folder.
GUI lag could be attributed to VcXsrv but the file read lag could possibly mean sublime isn't playing well with bash on windows environment.
Anyone using Sublime from Bash noticing similar issue? (@onomatopellan, @jwsloan)
