catastrophic cache miss

haha, great prose.

+1 for relative line numbers. I scripted up ctr+n so I can toggle between relative and absolute as needed, though, there are even plugins capable of intelligently switching when necessary (like http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4212).

I prefer hybrid line numbering. This way, you can see the true number of the line you are on, while all the other lines on the screen are numbered relative to your position.

Now this is perfection. Get both relative line numbering and absolute line numbers.

However, I use the vim-powerline plugin which displays the current line number/total lines at the bottom which is enough for me.
