Hi all,
I've got a Ubuntu shared directory mapped as a drive, k drive, in Windows XP
and whenever I try to save (:w) it takes about 8 to 12 seconds to complete
the operation for a 133,124 bytes size text file - not acceptable slow.  IF
I save under Notepad with the same file, it takes about 2 seconds!!

The share drive is connected through a VPN from work.  *I don't have
swapfiles / backup turn on*, so I am not sure what else is causing this
delay.  I was surprised that notepad had beaten VIM in this situation!  I
want VIM to kick notepad anytime, so if anyone has any suggestions please
let me know and I will try it out.  It's been bugging me for some days, is
this a defect?  In today's network speed, I don't think there would be this
much delays for saving text files.

Note: if I write the same size bytes to a new file, it only takes about 6
seconds, so writing to an existing file over a mapped share drive has more
overheads / delays.

Go Vim!

Thanks,
Cháo
