Hello, I often use gvim at home editing files from work over the VPN. I am accessing the files through drives I have mapped in Windows, rather than using UNC paths directly.
Anyway, editing these files on-site at work is cool and performs fine and when I'm at home I can edit local files ok too with no performance issues. BUT for some reason - editing remote files in gvim is extremely slow! I'm not talking about the startup time here. I'm talking about once the file has actually loaded and I'm now working in the editor. The scrolling speed when using the movement keys (hjkl) is appalling. In fact, any movement operation is painful. Using the movement keys to move between split windows takes forever (a few seconds). Moving the cursor down a single line takes at least a couple of seconds. The only exception is that the mouse scroll wheel is the only movement operation not effected by this issue - I can scroll without any issue using the mouse scroll wheel. (Although the whole point of using vim for me is that I don't have to touch the mouse :-/ So - does anyone know what is going on? I have suffered this problem for years and always hoped it would be fixed in future vim releases. I just don't get why it needs to be so slow for editing remote files. The buffer is in memory so I don't get why it would be slow. Any advice would be appreciated.
