it's a bug in the :E command, i reported it there:

i'm very naive about performance things but: as you add a condition in a loop
that is used while reading the input, it will be a little bit slower.
which means penality for everyone to avoid using a very simple pipe on
rare cases. so i finally think it's not worth ... col -b is an elegant
solution.
