Now try writing it. I suppose if Vim is only being used as a viewer this might be a non-issue, but I discovered the problem when trying to create a file with a huge number of lines to test how Vim responded to...something. I don't exactly remember what I was trying to test, only that I gave up on having Vim create the file and instead did it using command-line tools (a huge pain on Windows), and then eventually gave up on testing in general because Vim was taking so long to manipulate the file. > First time to load the file took an age > (>40s) due to loading it off disk That sounds about right.
