Thanks Tim! I think the dir, undodir, and backupdir made a difference. I have set the following now-: set noswapfile set nobackup set nofsync set ttyfast set notimeout set nottimeout set dir -=. set undodir -=. set backupdir -=. It still seems to slow down periodically between modes like INSERT, navigating between buffers, and generally everything seems slowed to a point where vim is hardly not usable over a network.

Thanks for your suggestions Ben, but I have all plugins, vimrc, etc. locally. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
