other settings
Authored by: rmsiegel on May 22, '07 05:41:48AM

BBedit has a number of things that can slow it down. A big one is frequently background the checks it does to see if a file currently being edited has changed on disk. This gets particularly pernicious if there is some slow filesystem mounted.

BBEdit doesn't check for file changes while you type. In the "Application" preferences (in BBEdit 8.5 and later; they're elsewhere in older versions) there is a collection of settings that controls when BBEdit verifies open files. "As you type" is not among the options. However, if turning off one or more of these settings solves your observed symptoms, far be it from me to complain. :-)
