Tips and Traps
- NeoVim with a complicated configuration (e.g., SpaceVim)
might be too slow when editing a large (>50M) text file.
One trick helps is to disable plugins when editing large files.
For example,
you can use the following command to edit a large file without loading plugins.
nvim --noplugin /path/to/large/text/file
