This should be like the hugest setback against emacs!! Processing 11 millions lines I see vim using ONE core, more over the file is entirely in RAM and takes for ever to do what's doing!!

wtf.

Just plain vim is a bad choice. Almost all the time goes into vim creating the swap file. This is very bad when you are opening your millions of line of file. So, turn off swap by opening your file with
Code:
vim -n filename

_______0 ... bad call really, a 11MLOCer (as a single file) is not something one would use a "screen-oriented text editor" for ... even emacs users aren't that crazy. Thats the equivalent of the entire 2.6.29 kernel source tree.

The real editor war is not between vi and emacs, it's between ed and everything else.
