Ben -- Thanks, ':tab split' does indeed operate very quickly, no
slowdown upon loading into new window. Unfortunately, what I need is
to open the window in an existing tab with several other windows, and
I don't see a way to do that. But thanks for pointing that out, it
may prove useful in the future. I have a workaround for the slowdown
now: basically just keep all the slow-loading folded files open in
different tabs and when I need to work on a different buffer move my
fast-loading auxiliary windows onto that buffer's tab. Not quite as
clean as I'd like, but if it's the best Vim can do I'm happy with it.

Thanks again,

Herb
