gvim performance in Debian
01-17-2020, 08:34 AM
Replying to my own thread, in case anyone else experiences this.. it looks like the problem I was having is related to gtk3:
https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/1199
gtk2 apparently doesn't have this problem and performs a lot better. So if you're seeing major perf issues with gvim (several seconds to refresh the screen while scrolling when maximized) then you should switch from using the vim-gtk3 package to vim-gtk. It's much faster.
