title: Vim macro very slow
body: <p>I'm saving a very simple vim macro to a key: qa$pjq and then executing it 40000 times with 40000@a. This is very slow. I must be doing something wrong, because while it does work it takes something like 60-90 seconds. Is this as fast as vim goes? Are there some settings that can accelerate this? Is there a mixture of plugins that make macro execution slow?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using a Mac and using MacVim. It is a plain text file, it really doesn't get any simpler than this.</p>
