This will be a matter of syntax highlighting configuration. I’m presuming this means “open the file and press G”, in which case it’ll come down to the :syn-sync value; this defaults to 100 lines, which should be basically instantaneous, but my guess is that he’s got it going fromstart, or else possibly enabled g:xml_syntax_folding, because that’s really the only reason I can imagine why it would not be blazingly fast.
