VIM normally creates a 'swapfile' in the same directory as the edited file (cp. :help swap-file). This file creation can take some time on a network share. Try launching VIM with the -n argument (no swapfile), e.g. gvim -n \\<hostname>\share\myfile.txt. If this fixes the problem, you can selectively disable swapfile creation for this network share (but keep swapfiles for local files) by setting up an exception in your .vimrc file: autocmd BufReadPre //<hostname>/* setlocal noswapfile -- regards, ingo /^-- Ingo Karkat -- /^-- /^-- /^-- /^-- /^-- /^-- http://ingo-karkat.de/ -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
