title: can 'vim' open a large file in read only mode as fast as 'less'?
body: <p>I usually use 'less' to browse log files. But, sometimes, I need to use vim for its superior navigation facilities. But, the larger the log files, the longer it takes for vim to load them. 'less' seems to load them almost instantly.</p>
  
  <p>Opening in read-only mode using 'vim -R' doesn't help.
  Are there any other options using which I can open large files with vim quickly?
  Please let me know if any other information is needed.</p>
