I've been running the last stable build happily since August. Running this new build causes all four cores in my rmbp to spin up to 99% repeatedly (Activity Monitor says it's Sublime) and the fans to go wild. Is this happening to anyone else? I had to revert to the previous version which fixed it :(

I ran into this too. It's because of the index that Sublime builds for its Goto Anything feature. If you never use Goto Anything, in your User Settings:

    "index_files": false

Similarly for me.

On every file change ST status bar says - indexing files. And it takes > 10s (I have a lot of files). When it does that - 2 CPU cores are loaded at 99%.

Opened the console (@jskinner suggested to enter sublime.log_indexing(True)) and there was a message that index is corrupted and I have to remove it. Index is located in:

/Users/bumbu/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Index

Removing all the files from that folder did the trick.

http://www.sublimetext.com/forum is a better place for this, but as a stopgap you can disable file indexing via the index_files setting. You can also find out more about what indexing is taking place by entering sublime.log_indexing(True) in Sublime Text's console.

For me it was trying to index a huge folder containing images, you can use project settings to exclude some folders with the folder_exclude_patterns setting.

Let it go for 1 hour. It's just indexing your files the first time.

nope
