performance problems on big files about indentline HOT 4 CLOSED

that makes a big difference. if possible, can you add a g:indentLine_maxLines or something to disable indent lines for big files? thanks.

I have tried opening a 100000 lines file, performance is fine just like opening a file with 100 lines(my cpu is P9700). Can you make sure it's this plugin causes this issue?

i stripped my vimrc down to the bare minimum:

set nocompatible
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/neobundle.vim/
call neobundle#rc(expand('~/.vim/bundle/'))
syntax on
NeoBundleFetch 'Shougo/neobundle.vim'
NeoBundle 'Yggdroot/indentLine'

and as a test i opened jquery.js, which is 9400 lines, and vim lagged for about 3 seconds (my guess is depending on the source and how many indents it affects the performance). i'm running on OSX if that makes a difference.

i also may have omitted important information. after opening the file, i hit G to scroll to the end of the file, and that's when the lag is most noticeable.

I get your point. But I think it's inevitable for big file as yours. Setting g:indentLine_indentLevel to a smaller value can improve a little. the default value is 20, may be you can let g:indentLine_indentLevel = 5.
