The first thing that occurs to me is the swapfile settings. If it's trying to write the swapfile to the same remote network location, you'll get horrid lag. Try :set directory-=. or :let &directory=$TEMP to instruct vim to write the swapfile(s) elsewhere. Alternatively, you can shut the swapfile off completely: :set noswapfile or reduce the frequency with which it writes to the swapfile: :set updatecount=10000 One last alternative occurs to me: check the output of :map to see if you have any mappings for h/j/k/l and check :autocmd CursorHold :autocmd CursorHoldI :autocmd CursorMoved :autocmd CursorMovedI to see if any event is firing that might drag you down. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
