I am trying to create a 1,000,000 byte file with VIM. The following has VIM using 100% of _both_ my CPUs (Intel DuoCore) for almost two hours before I killed it: ia<esc>1000000.
/i assume that the holdup is not that 1000000 'a' characters are being written, but rather that insert mode is being inserted and left 1000000 times. Is there a better way, other than just doing the operation 1000 times, then copying that another 1000 times?
