The real issue is that pasting large amounts of text into terminal
emulator takes a long time, because (I suspect) it pastes it one
character at a time and each time the emulator redraws the screen. So
':r !cat' is the same as <C-S-v> in that regard. Or at least I think
so.

But still, ':r !cat' lets me paste stuff without the ':set paste!'x2
hassle. That's nice - thank you.
