Stair stepping

My setup: Linux (gentoo) 2.6.33-gentoo
vim VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2
compile info inlined at the end of this post

For some time now I've been noticing when I paste scripting code
into vim I'm getting the stair stepping effect.

It didn't used to a few mnts back..

I know about paste on/off in vim and have the toggle set to F4.
So I have to toggle paste on, do the paste and then toggle paste off
since having paste on messes with numerous other settings.

However, there was a time, maybe a few mnths ago, when all that
toggling was not necessary.

Maybe I lost a few lines out of ~/.vimrc or maybe I didn't compile
vim the same... I don't know what the cause is but wondered if anyone
here knows if there is a way to set vim up (other than paste on/off)
so that pasting can happen without stair stepping.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

cut/copy this paragraph
my %h1 = (
f1 => "./b/f1",
fa => "./b/c/fa",
f2 => "./b/l/c/f2",
fb => "./b/g/f/r/fb"
);

paste it into an open vim file in insert mode.

my %h1 = (
f1 => "./b/f1",
fa => "./b/c/fa",
f2 => "./b/l/c/f2",
fb => "./b/g/f/r/fb"
);
