It refreshes the index automatically after a configurable amount of
time. I set mine to 60 seconds and haven't experienced any slowdown of
my computer.

Yes I tried, :find and that it's not doing completion of my filename,
is something that makes it a lot less useful. Sure it broadened my vim
skills ;) but it's still not as good as the described solution the
jedit plugin offers.
Sorry for the stupid question now ... but isn't it possible to write
vim plugins in perl? If so could you give me some pointers on how to
this? Still after such a long time of using vim, I find the helpfiles
a bit hard to read/browse. And googling for it, didn't yield any
useful results either.
Maybe I could do such a plugin in perl then.
in vim itself:
:help :perl
