Having dictionary set appears to make neocomplcache unusably slow

[Julian]

Hi, sorry, searched around a bit for this and didn't find anything mentioning it, apologies if it has been mentioned somewhere.

I have 'dictionary' set, and when it is, inserting a character takes on the order of 25 seconds with neocomplcache enabled. set dictionary= gets me back to normal, but I don't see a way to disable dictionary completion, or why it should take that long even with it enabled.

Sending ^C to vim shows that neocomplcache is running get_keyword_list if that helps.

Also

Sorry, I fixed for it.

[Julian]

No need to apologize thanks for a great plugin :)

I'll keep an eye out for the fix.

I'll keep an eye out for the fix.

Is it fixed the problem?

[Julian]

Sorry, didn't know you really meant it should be fixed already, I updated and it didn't appear to be, it still takes the same amount of time. This is with an empty vimrc with just neocomplcache and set dictionary+=/usr/share/dict/words.

[Shougo]

Sorry, I did not push for it. I updated neocomplcache.

[Julian]

Ah :D.

Tried updating, still takes a long time, though now it appears to also fail if I leave it for long enough:

Please upload your minimal .vimrc and representation ways. I will check it.

[Julian]

vimrc is just:

set nocompatible
filetype off
set runtimepath+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
call vundle#rc()

" Let Vundle manage Vundle (required!).
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'

Bundle 'Shougo/neocomplcache'

if filereadable("/usr/share/dict/words")
    set dictionary+=/usr/share/dict/words
endif

let g:neocomplcache_enable_at_startup = 1

I actually don't even care about dict completion too much, though it'd be nice for a few filetypes. What's the easiest way to just disable it?

[Shougo]

Please update neocomplcache again. I tested your .vimrc but the problem was not happened.

You should use g:neocomplcache_dictionary_filetype_lists variable instead of dictionary option.

[Julian]

Well, I don't use dictionary for neocomplcache. I've had it set for years, and use it for spell.

Updating neocomplcache again still doesn't seem like it's fixed it for me. let g:neocomplcache_disabled_sources_list = {'_' : ['dictionary_complete']} seems to get me something usable though.

Thanks for trying to look into it, feel free to close this unless you think I can provide anything else to help you out.

[Shougo]

I fixed the problem.
