Hi Tim,

thank you for your suggestions! :)

The lua code I am editing currently has a length of 200 lines (12k).

There is a difference between for example Lua code and a plain text
file -- editing lua code is slower.

Vim started with -u NONE also speeds up things -- but as I mentioned
in my first mail...I really dont want to strip down vim to a lightning
fast .... ed ;)
Plugins are one of the outstanding features of vim ( the "im" in "vim")

"syntax off" and "syntax" do not make much a difference.

The drive is a fast SSD-card.

I dont want to make vim "Noswap" ... ;)

Best regards,
mcc
