Too many instances of vim?

Hello,

I have used vim for several years now, but recently vim has become
painfully slow when it writes to disk. I am checking into other
possibilities, but one reason for this (in my mind) might be that I
have too many instances of vim up at the same time. I have 48 GB of
memory, so I don't think that it is a memory issue, and my files are
relatively small (~500 lines), so I am wondering if there is some
central vim manager that gets overworked if I keep pulling up vim
instances and not closing the others. Does this make sense? If so,
is there anything I can do about it other than closing the files that
I am keeping up? If not, any other ideas as to why it might be so
slow? I just saved a 650 line file, it took 34 seconds.
