It is help for > unlisted-buffers that needs clarification. I am afraid that the difference you see is due to the fact that after 'vimgrep' the file is in the disk cache. Did you compare ':hide vimgrep ...' to ':vimgrep ...' ? I did and in both cases 'Mem Usage' in Windows Task Manager goes up while vimgrep is active and then goes down again. The only difference I see is that in the first case the matched files are in the hidden and unlisted buffers and in the second case they are just unlisted. I think Bram can easily clarify this for us if he has time. Thanks, JP.
