Hi list, I noticed that using Vim 7.4a the Vimwiki plugin works measurably slower with re=0 than with re=1. I figured out the reason is this regexp in the syntax definition:
[[:alnum:]]\@<!\%(\%(\%(http\|https\|file\|ftp\|gopher\|telnet\|nntp\|ldap\|rsync\|imap\|pop\|irc\|ircs\|cvs\|svn\|svn+ssh\|git\|ssh\|fish\|sftp\):\%(\/\/\)\)\|\%(mailto\|news\|xmpp\|sip\|sips\|doi\|urn\|tel\):\)\S\{-1,}\%(([^ \t()]*)\)\=\S* You may know what it is supposed to match. Removing some of the branches makes it faster and so does removing [[:alnum:]]\@<! I don't know if there is a standard method for measuring speed of the syntax highlight, but here is what I have done: - open a relatively large file - :set syn=off - :syntax match Number /[[:alnum:]]\@<!\%(\%(\%(http\|https\|file\|ftp\|gopher\|telnet\|nntp\|ldap\|rsync\|imap\|pop\|irc\|ircs\|cvs\|svn\|svn+ssh\|git\|ssh\|fish\|sftp\):\%(\/\/\)\)\|\%(mailto\|news\|xmpp\|sip\|sips\|doi\|urn\|tel\):\)\S\{-1,}\%(([^ \t()]*)\)\=\S*/ - scroll with <c-e> and <c-y> - extremely slow with re=0 but normal slow (*wink*) with re=1 So, can this behavior be considered as a bug? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
