Should we be setting foldmethod? #222

Open petdance opened 8 years ago

petdance commented 8 years ago

Turning on foldmethod for everyone with

setlocal foldmethod=syntax

is a performance slowdown. (This could also mean we need to speed up folding)

Is it appropriate to turn on foldmethod for everyone and make them pay the performance penalty for it?

I have a few older machines that I need to work on periodically, and I have to disable the syntax folding. It is incredibly bad.

hoelzro commented 7 years ago

17 syntax files (including ours) and 5 ftplugin files seem to enable syntax folding, making them the minority. Syntax folding is fairly simple to turn off, though, and this has been the default for a long time now - I would prefer we speed up folding rather than break existing configurations.
