That's a good point, John, but Sarath did the same pasting into vi (vim tiny?) and emacs and neither was as slow as vim, so it's not just PuTTY. I wonder if the problem would be there using telnet instead of ssh and if so, if Wireshark would reveal anything interesting. > I don't need to use PuTTY much, but in the past I have found it > easier to use a separate command prompt window to upload a file > (pscpy) with whatever text I needed, then read it into Vim (:r > filename.txt). I use PuTTY on Windows 7 over ssh to vim on Linux all the time and most of the time I don't notice any speed issues at all, including when I paste.
