Here a 4.7GB file filled with zeros doesn't load. For me it still feels weird that vim claims the file being a [New File] while loading, that one can work at the file as if it was a new file and then overwrites it when saving. I think there is some notification missing. Or editing could be disabled while loading. Anyway, here's exactly what I am doing. $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test.txt bs=1000000 count=5000 ... $ vim test.txt ~ ~ ~ "test.txt" [New File] Here I waited up to 45 minutes without having any noticable hdd or cpu activity. :wp File is overwritten. In which point is this different from what you see on your machine? regards --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-fs Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable www.debian-multimedia.org 500 unstable ftp2.de.debian.org 1 experimental ftp2.de.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===================================-+-==================== vim-common (= 1:7.1.293-3) | 1:7.1.293-3 vim-runtime (= 1:7.1.293-3) | 1:7.1.293-3 libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1) | 2.2.47-2 libc6 (>= 2.7-1) | 2.7-11 libgpmg1 (>= 1.20.0) | 1.20.3~pre3-3 libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) | 5.6+20080503-1 libselinux1 (>= 2.0.59) | 2.0.59-1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
