I don't know whether it's technically a bug or not, but vim is often a bit slow. For example, 'o' to open a new line in insert mode sometimes takes up to two or three seconds to work. Not a huge problem, but enough to make my mental flow stumble. I have a small vimrc that's mostly tab-related stuff, so I don't think it's that.

I've also noticed delays when using 'o'. I've always wondered if it might be related to syntax highlighting.
