Hi,

Here's something I use:

let g:BufSizeThresholdSmall = 500000 " No swap threshold (Set to 500 KB)
let g:BufSizeThresholdBig = 1000000000 " Minimal mode threshold (Set to 1 GB)
" For small files, switch all options on
autocmd BufEnter * if getfsize(expand("<afile>")) < g:BufSizeThresholdSmall | set incsearch | setlocal statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P | endif
" Don't use a swap file for big files
autocmd BufReadPre * if getfsize(expand("<afile>")) >= g:BufSizeThresholdSmall | setlocal noswapfile | setlocal statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r\ No\ Swap\ File%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P | endif
" Switch off other options for still bigger files
autocmd BufEnter * if getfsize(expand("<afile>")) >= g:BufSizeThresholdBig | set noincsearch | setlocal noswapfile | setlocal statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r\ No\ Swap\ File.\ No\ Incsearch%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P | endif

It allows two thresholds and disables more options for very large files. Moreover, the status line is updated to reflect the current state of options so that I know what to expect for the currently open file.

PS: I don't remember if I copied it from somewhere or built it over time. In either case, corrections and suggestions for improvement are welcome. Will help me learn something new. :)

Best Regards,
Abhishek
