Yes, it is.

Added that check just a few seconds ago.

Will do that.

Interestingly: I didn't see that happen here. Maybe i have a faster machine (dual core 2Ghz), maybe you're just typing faster, ...
Number of open files shouldn't be the cause since only the document in the current editor is checked.
Still: I plan to find a better trigger for the check to run. Currently it runs every 1000ms but only if the doc was changed since the last run. 
IMHO, it could be better instead if it ran when the editor is idle and has been so for, say, 500 ms. 
But that's much harder to implement than a simple timer. 

I don't know how much time I'll have till Sunday to work on it so i just wanted to check it in for others to see that the problem is being dealt with and perhaps to receive some hints on alternative/better solutions or implementation tips.
