What machine are you running Vim on? Seriously, don't bother about it - do what fits your mind best else use assembler to safe some resources. What really helps: - use autoload functions (so that code is only loaded if needed) for speed critical stuff: Don't use VimL - its known to be slow. Write external helper applications and call them (Sorry about that). Eg I tried writing a fuzzy delphi parser and optimizing it for days - without result. I tried writing a tagging engine for as3 files - in the end it worked - but all operations took a second - again I tried spending hours on optimizing it - the fix would have been not using VimL (it was about parsing and caching 2000 .as3 files) - and that second was operating on the in memory cache. How to find out which version is fastest? get tlib, there is a simple benchmark function, use that. My two cents on this topic Marc Weber -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
