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.
