Throwing this out here since you mentioned it - does anyone else get tons of hangups and temporary frozen windows using Sublime with unsaved files? I’ve always had this on a bunch of different Macs and some Linux machines. I don’t like working around by saving either, sometimes I just want a scratchpad.

You should check and see how large your session file is, perhaps you have some multi-GB files open that ST tries to persist continuously. Though with ST4 we did introduce async (session) saving, so it's surprising to still see it happening - perhaps a bug report would sort things out.
Never on version 3, unless some plugin is running wild or misbehaving (e.g. Anaconda). I also use it mostly as a scratch pad, with several unsaved files. (Haven't been brave enough to update to v4 because they're all still unsaved -.-)
The UI still hangs up when anything (including a project) is loaded from a slow sshfs mount. For this case I found optimizing the sshfs mount settings mostly fixed this. Now only rarely, sshfs decides it doesn't like something about itself and takes down Sublime with it.
That's interesting! I'll have to try it out as most my interactions with ST revolve around saving files.
Haven't faced this in a while, and thought this was mostly around indexing.
