Yes, thank you. With -c q it was flashing past too quickly to see. I was misled by this in the help for 'fileencoding': To read a file in a certain encoding it won't work by setting 'fileencoding', use the |++enc| argument. > -c is too late. You must use --cmd, -c runs *after* reading the file. Yes, thank you. vim --cmd "set fencs=latin1" file.txt (finally) works to avoid the slowdown.
