Yes this is interesting. I am not sure exactly why my terminal vim is so slow however, at times it takes over 30 seconds to do some very simple commands. I resorted to creating tmux sessions with one window for vim and another window for terminal commands, to avoid the time lag. I have noticed that vim in linux is blindingly fast compared to on Mac. Sometimes makes me wish I were operating on ArchLinux or Fedora rather than Mac. I have configured my Mac OS X however to read /usr/local/bin to read before either /bin or /usr/bin so that all the linux utilities I have compiled on my Mac OS X 10.7 have newer gnu utilities instead of the default unix ones that are in some cases more than 10 years old. I really don't think this has anything to with the slowness of shell commands in vim but it is possible. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
