I use vim on Mac OS X, but this is realy slow in Terminal.app and iTerm.

Progress over many lines becomes tedious.

some idea of solution?

Need more details. Are other commands slow? Does ps/top or ActivityMonitor show lots of CPU usage by other processes? Are you editing a very large file? – Doug Harris Mar 11 '10 at 21:17
I only see vim slow. When I try down the cursor through of many lines, the processor monitor show many activity. No very long files, approxemately 200 lines. – juanpablo Mar 12 '10 at 0:52

Maybe you have installed some broken plugins or something like that. Try to temporary rename directory with vim configs:

mv ~/.vim ~/.vim.backup

And/or main config file: mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.backup

And try to use vim without configs

I try with a empty .vimrc file, but nothing is better – juanpablo Mar 15 '10 at 15:42

I had this problem (just painfully slow) and it ended up being the Consolas font I was using in Terminal.App and ITerm Switching to Monaco in my case sped things up considerably

Try MacVim. There is also a 64 bit version available somewhere on the blog, which includes a new rendering layer.
