That brings me to my question. I have noticed that when editing large
files (millions of lines), deleting a large number of lines (say,
hundreds of thousands to millions) takes an unbelieveably long time in
VIM--at least on my systems. This struck me as so odd, I looked you
up (for the first time in all my years of use) so I could ask why!
The "LargeFile.vim" plugin helps to speed up the editing of large files:

It does so by changing a number of things: no syntax highlighting, no
undo, etc.
