Thanks, but it seems I have been unclear. My problem is that, all other things being equal, scrolling through a buffer in gvim is very sluggish using GTK+ 3, compared to using GTK+ 2. This is not a problem that affects other GTK+ 3 applications. My example using the output of seq was only to illustrate how slow the scrolling is. Maybe a better example is:
$ vim -g -u NONE -U NONE /usr/include/stdio.h --> then hold down the 'j' key The movement is slow, the display lags, and when you let off 'j' it keeps going for a second. This doesn't happen in Emacs or gedit (both use GTK+ 3). Sorry for the confusion before. This is not about how vim reads shell output. It's about the display speed under GTK+ 3. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
