The "real memory" size of MacVim is not bad, but Activity Monitor reports 2.18GB and this grows in big leaps suddenly (300MB or much more) when MacVim becomes unresponsive. MacVim consumes the more memory than all of them. This is what I get when inspecting the MacVim process after it OK again (by comparison, when MacVim is unresponsive "spinning disk", hundreds of threads will run). 13:35:14.479 MacVim An uncaught exception was raised 13:35:14.476 MacVim Assertion failure in -, Ameba Ownd. It may happen after a while, so it's not frequent, fortunately for me.Įnvironment (please complete the following information): Eventually the problem occurs, but I can't tell when and why.Change Syntax to Assembly/Turbo then navigate, search, type, etc.Edit Forth500.s and perhaps some other files in other windows (but don't think that matters).The most important reason people chose Vim is: When compared to modern graphical editors like Atom and Brackets (which have underlying HTML5 engines, browsers, Node, etc.), Vim uses a sliver of the system's memory and it loads instantly, all the while delivering the same features. It's difficult to reproduce exactly.ĭetailed steps to reproduce the behavior: Vim is ranked 1st while MacVim is ranked 17th. It could be a syntax highlighting problem perhaps. I had this happen several times, but only once a day at the most.

Macvim hangs install#
MacVim occasionally hangs for minutes with hundreds of threads (500 or more) when editing some specific large file(s). I've installed macvim on OSX 10.11.6 using brew install macvim -with-override-system-vim.This worked fine. I'm a daily user of MacVim and my work depends on it.
