I take it you are maximizing gvim, am I correct?

(I assume you have plenty of memory. Plenty being more than 1.5 GiB.)
Sounds like a driver issue. gvim and my 1920x1080 screen is quite snappy, Kubuntu 12.04 with the nvidia 173 driver, onboard Geforce 7025, ~2006 vintage.
What driver are you running? Have you tried with desktop effects disabled? (There's an effect, Blur, that makes my system unusable, though I happily run lots of other effects.)
Does vim in an xterm or gnome-terminal have problems? (I seem to recall my Karmic or Lucid install having a screen update slow down when maximized, it would do one third of the screen, pause, another third, pause, then the rest; vim in gnome-terminal was exactly the same as gvim.)
The early days of Unity gave grief, too, but I didn't try that for long enough to make conclusions.
