Those specs should be abundantly good for basic vimming. I've used
it on a 128MB 600MHz Celeron (both locally and via SSH) with no
trouble.

Do you notice it primarily with Lua code and other filetypes are
okay? Or is it all filetypes?

How is it if you crank it up with "-u NONE" and avoid plugins and
startup scripts?

Is there a difference between ":syntax on" and ":syntax off"?

What sort of drive is it run from? (spinning-platter, flash,
RAM-disk, network drive) Does setting 'noswapfile' help?

I presume these files are of reasonable length (not hundreds of MB).
