I'm not sure if you've seen this but there are some serious performance hits when I went from a moderate to low plugin enabled vim to dotvim on OSX (Lion). There is obvious lag when using : or , before it prompts

The reason I'm posting this now is because my fan has been running nonstop for the past hour or so. I figured it was just iTunes + safari + chrome but after checking it was the Vim process running at 200% CPU (I don't even know how that's possible). I quit mvim and the Vim process was still active. After successfully forcing a quit on the process through the Activity Monitor, I reopened it. Sitting idle with a small rails project has it using 0.3% of the CPU.

Outside of performance, it's an awesome collection. I'm afraid I may have to start removing stuff though (sigh).
