Re: Bug in ftdetect?

The fast version is a filetype.vim script in my ~/. vim. If there is a cost to these settings, why does it show up with ftdetect but not a local filetype.vim?

Also most machines are not on vim 8, and thus still think .md is modula 2.

What do you compare this with?  Filetype detection already has this rule
for markdown, thus the extra markdown.vim file isn't needed.

Perhaps you can get some more information by setting 'verbose' to a
non-zero number, e.g. ten.

From your logs it looks like one run detects the filetype only for the
one file that is loaded, while the other does it for every file in the
argiument list.  Looks like something causes loading of every file.

Each sourced file has overhead, the more files you add that are sourced
when opening a file the slower Vim gets.

The ftdetect files are good when you want to just drop a file in a
directory.  Installing a package is simpler that way.  Otherwise
installing a package for a file type would require editing
the filetype.vim script.
