Is that the NERDtree that is so slow? I am asking, because a file with
several hundreds of lines opens nearly instantaneously here. But then, I
usually try to avoid loading plugins, since I need to work on many
different places where often I usually only have a vanilla vim available
and try not to become dependent on plugins.
Though I have had speed problems with vim before. But that was with
files of several hundred thousands of lines. (At work I need to load a
lot of large CSV files into a DWH.) And I often find it very frustrating
that vim is so "slow".
But then I think of the situations, like today, where I needed to
transform a tab delimited file into a sql insert statements (by the use
of some regex). This resulted in a file of about 65k lines (about
16,000 insert statements). Loading that file into Toad, made it so
slow, that I couldn't even navigate anymore (Windows complained about
running out of virtual memory) and when trying to execute it, Toad
crashed ;) So Vim is certainly capable of handling large files just
find. I still wish, it could be just a little bit faster ;)
Having said that, I wonder, whether it would be possible to have
NERDtree cash its directory listings, so it wouldn't be so time
consuming to recreate the view. But then I do not know anything about
Nerdtree either (not even how it is spelled correctly ;)) and maybe it
does that already…

Christian
