Hi Brit,
I don't know what can be done about the rendering speed at such high
resolutions...I'd have to profile to see what the bottleneck is
exactly, but I do not have access to such high resolutions. Maybe you
could simply make your windows narrower? (":set co=80" is my best
friend ;-)
At the moment I am using an external monitor at 1680x1050 and I also
noticed that rendering was rather sluggish at full-screen (with
Menlo:h11). With the Core Text renderer the sluggishness goes away
more or less completely so you should give it a go as well, but it is
quite possible that it will not cure the problem at your resolution.
You'll have to pull the feat/core-text branch and build from that
though (it is not in any of my "public" binaries).
