Re: A performance question

I just tried deleting 1133093 lines of a 1133093+1133409 line file, after 
typing ":syntax off".  It took about 3 minutes.

Do you have syntax highlighting enabled?  That can really slow vim

Well, I don't mean to.  ":set" says this:

It can be toggled via

        :syntax on

and

        :syntax off

To see what flavor of syntax highlighting you currently have, you can query 
the 'syntax' setting:

        :set syntax?
