Vim - dealing with big files

Vim is my daily driver in terms of editing file. Although I mostly use the “vanilla” vim without installing any plugin, Vim gets very slow when opening a very big file.

To deal with this issue, I’ve found the option -u in vim.

$  vim -u "NONE" very_big_file.csv

By giving the name “NONE” all initializations will be skipped.
