New issue 300 by [email protected]: Opening a big file takes long just
to show the first part of the file
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=300
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. "vim somefile" where somefile is several hundreds MB in size
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should take a fraction of a second to open the file and display the part
that fits in the terminal, no matter how big the whole file is. Vim doesn't
need to read the whole file just to start displaying it, so there's no
reason why opening a bigger file should take longer.
Instead, it takes several seconds before you start seeing the first portion
of the file
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The one that ships in Debian 7
Please provide any additional information below.
I thought vim dealt with big files efficiently, I'm surprised to find out
it doesn't. I thought only very long lines were a problem.
