| vim \\computer\c$\test.txt | notepad \\computer\c$\test.txt Thanks everyone for input and comments. Using e.g. type.exe or notepad.exe is nearly instant, only vim is slow, so I am pretty sure it is vim related. Interesting is also that tab-completion of a filename on the :e prompt is fast, just the opening (and writing) is slow.
But... I tried setting "shellslash" now, as suggested by BC - and that does it - then \\computer\c$\test.txt works, being translated as //computer/c$/test.txt With noshellslash (defaults) //computer/c$/test.txt is fast. I would prefer to have windows/dos directory slashes, but I guess I could live with shellslash... ! Since a few other people (Matthias Müller for one) are seeing the same problem, could this maybe be logged as a bug... ?
