vim is very slow on my Mac

I use vim on Mac OS X, but this is realy slow in Terminal.app and iTerm.

Progress over many lines becomes tedious.

some idea of solution?

For me, deleting .viminfo helped.

Maybe you have installed some broken plugins or something like that. Try to temporary rename directory with vim configs:

mv ~/.vim ~/.vim.backup

And/or main config file: mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.backup

And try to use vim without configs

Try MacVim. There is also a 64 bit version available somewhere on the blog, which includes a new rendering layer.
