Yeah I realize it's not a full solution. Is the issue pretty much known, it just needs a good fix figured out? Or does it still need investigation? Does the OP's backtrace help at all? I admit I've not used gdb enough to know how to use it effectively, but it looks like all it points to is "somewhere in the syntax folding routines Vim is being slow". -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
