setting syntax on in vim with large C file makes complete very slow
- by skeept
when I have syntax on in a large C file (about 8000) lines
the completion ctrl-p and ctrl-n are very slow (more than 20). When I turn syntax off then completion takes less than a second.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I figured out a minimal way of reproducing this behaviour:
with an empty .vimrc and .vim folder the only changed settings are
:set syntax on
:set foldmethod=syntax
and a large C file to edit, completion (and even general editing) becomes very very slow.
