    Description

      Repro steps:

      Given I am Windows user with multiple git repositories open
      When I switch between open repository tabs
      Then SourceTree freezes up for over a minute

      Solution:

      Tools -> Options -> Un-check spell check commit messages.

      Seems to me like you guys are possibly re-loading the spell checking dictionary or something any time the user switches between repositories. It's been painfully slow and entirely locks up the UI – not great for usability. Turning off spell check made repo switches instant vs. literally taking over a minute when I have 10 repositories bookmarked (3 open).

      Easy fix? Disable spell checking by default in your next release and users will love you. I can accept typos in commit messages; I can't accept unusable slowness.
