Upgrading to Sublime Text 3

Startup times are drastically faster. Python plugins are now `out of process` and load async. Also, the very latest beta uses skia instead of cairo. The api is now thread safe which will mean less `Plugin x is taking too long` messages. And so on ... Even updating is faster, with the new binary diff based auto updater

"Startup times are drastically faster" - is that 1 millisecond as opposed to 2?

Startup time is more like 5-10s for me on a Core i5 iMac. Better than eclipse, not better than vim.

Same for me, i7 Win7. Thankfully I rarely have a reason to close ST2 once open.

I have a Core i5 MBP and ST3 takes 1 second or less to start.

It's actually so much faster, that the operating system's method of drawing windows is the prime determinant of startup speed perception. Surprisingly, the winning OS is windows.

Yeah the startup time is now instant for me which I love. Those few ms saved doesn't seem like much but for me it just makes things that little bit quicker.
