I'm a PHP developer so I often have a large amount of PHP files open (like right now: 40 files, some of them over 1000 lines) and scrolling feels slow, and omni-completion is almost unusable. This in on a 2.1Gzh Dual Core w. 2Gb and Intel X3100 gfx.

Interesting work practice.

1000 lines of php is a huge file.

Using plenty of includes I generally average around 300.
Keeping more than 10 files open at once is too confusing for me.
I rarely need more than 4 at once.

Interesting that you find gVim slow. I was used to using Vim on XTerm (nothing renders faster than this), and feel no difference for gVim. There's a .vimrc option that defines whether syntax highlighting should be redone for the whole document every input or not, maybe this impacts performance.

The question then is: which option? I can remember I looked at an option called something with syn-

We create customised osCommerce e-shops (and it has many huge files ) + do a lot of integration between proprietary software solutions and other open source web solutions (eZ publish, Drupal + much much more), and sometimes many files are involved (I use marks in vim a lot )

gvim/vim, only problem I currently have with gvim is that it resizes itself when I try to maximize it on KDE (kwin).
