Hi Bram, mpv is a music player (mplayer fork), see https://mpv.io/
I don't need to play music in vim, I just wanted to try the job functionality and see how it works, and this was the first idea that came to my mind. :-) I tried the command you suggested and vim is not slow when I use </dev/null >/dev/null as part of the mpv command.
