I don't see anything in your _vimrc that I think should cause a problem. Did you
try without your .vimrc and plugins as I suggested? What happened? There may
still be a plugin interfering even if it isn't the .vimrc. It may particularly
be a C filetype plugin, if you don't notice this sort of thing in other file
types.

While I didn't notice any obvious causes of this slowdown in your .vimrc, I am
curios why you have this:

While setting nobackup makes sense if you're working on version controlled code,
and probably unnecessary if you've got persistent undo turned on, I don't know
of any good reason to turn off writebackup. swapfile is likewise a good option
to leave on, or else you lose out on data recovery if Vim crashes, or detection
of when you accidentally open the file in multiple Vim instances.

Are you editing a file on a network share, perchance?
