Thank you all for the tips - see the (ugly) solution below.

Unfortunately installing package from http://hpux.connect.org.uk is not an
option - and as it turned out (see below) it wouldn't help anyway.

I tried the other tip to compile vim for profiling but I got strange errors
which nor I nor Google had any idea what to do with:

         gcc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H     -g -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 -pg -g
-DWE_ARE_PROFILING      -o objects/eval.o eval.c
/var/tmp//ccVmJ1Zu.s: Assembler messages:
/var/tmp//ccVmJ1Zu.s:107302: Error: `mov' does not fit into MMB template
*** Error exit code 1

Finally I decided to try to track down the slowness by commenting out parts in
the source code and try when it gets fast.

Shortly, it turned out that the regular check for user interrupt (ctrl-C) during
text search is extremely slow on this HPUX box for some reason.

I didn't go further and just hacked that line_breakcheck() checks for user
interruption after 10000 calls instead of the default 32. Not really nice, but
works.

misc1.c:

// by balee >> not that often please
#undef BREAKCHECK_SKIP
#define BREAKCHECK_SKIP 5000
// <<

static int      breakcheck_count = 0;

     void
line_breakcheck()
{
     if (++breakcheck_count >= BREAKCHECK_SKIP)
     {
         breakcheck_count = 0;
         ui_breakcheck();
     }
}

It looks like something wrong with your gcc compiler.

In vim/src/Makefile, I see this:

### (2) HP-UX with a non-ANSI cc, use the c89 ANSI compiler
### The first probably works on all systems
### The second should work a bit better on newer systems
### The third should work a bit better on HPUX 11.11
### Information provided by: Richard Allen <ra@...>
#CC = c89 -D_HPUX_SOURCE
#CC = c89 -O +Onolimit +ESlit -D_HPUX_SOURCE
#CC = c89 -O +Onolimit +ESlit +e -D_HPUX_SOURCE

So you could perhaps try to use the c89 compiler on HPUX
instead of gcc?

$ cd vim/src
$ rm auto/config.cache
$ CC=c89 ./configure --with-features=huge --enable=gui=no
$ make

The function ui_breakcheck() looks like this in ui.c:

  359     void
  360 ui_breakcheck()
  361 {
  362 #ifdef FEAT_GUI
  363     if (gui.in_use)
  364         gui_mch_update();
  365     else
  366 #endif
  367         mch_breakcheck();
  368 }
  369

This begs the question: did you enable FEAT_GUI?
(probably not, judging from your above compilation options)

Can you compare speed with and without FEAT_GUI?

It would be interesting to find why ui_breakcheck() is slow.

I used to prefer FuzzyFinder but after either a Vim upgrade or a yum or
apt update it stopped working virtually altogether. I did contact the
author on BitBucket about it but he kind of given up development by
about then (this was about April this year I seem to recall).

The other pair of answers I saw come back on this extract the
information that you request, but don't write out the content to
files of the name contained in the <a>...</a> tag.  You might try
the following:

function! WriteShortcut(whole, name, url)
   call writefile(['[InternetShortcut]', 'URL='.(a:url), ''],
(a:name).'.txt')
   return a:whole
endfunction

with which you can then use

%s/\c<\s*a\s\+href\s*=\(['"]\)\(\%(\1\@![^/]\)\+\)\1\s*>\([^<]*\)</\=WriteShortc\
ut(submatch(0),
submatch(3), submatch(2))/g


as a rough approximation to extract the various bits, create a file
with the corresponding name, and then populate it with the
associated contents.  It should be fairly forgiving on whitespace
and single-vs-double-quotes around the URL.  Places that I know it
falls over:

- <a> tags with other attributes such as class='...'

- <a>...</a> nodes with sub-elements in them such as <a
href="http://example.com>My <b>COOL</b> site!!!</a>

It also doesn't trim off whitespace, so it uses the entire text node
as the filename, meaning that if you have

   <a href="...">  text  </a>

it will name the file "<space><space>text<space><space>.txt" so you
may want to sanitize the filename before passing it to writefile()

No, I disabled gui option.
Actually, it was the lowest level I checked, mch_breakcheck() was called.

I managed to cut off some time, but still write (:w) and INSERT mode is a bit
slow - when I am building up a few or 10 buffers.

Hello helpers.  Thank you for your replies.  It took me some time to
delve into the topics, and I saw there is even more, like scim...I got
the impression there is no way but just try every method for some time
and see which is best *for me* - perhaps I'll have to take the data

Hello! Vim is great editor, but I have some trouble when working under normal
user account and editing files in places with restricted access (like
Program Files and etc.). Is there a way to make Vim elevate access rights
when saving a file? I want Vim to display me the UAC dialogue where I must
confirm the operation instead of giving me a message that write failed?  Is
there anything I can do without running Vim under administrator privilegies
or disabling UAC?

Again I ask, do other applications also have slow writes to this network
share?Have you tried running Vim without any plugins or .vimrc configuration to
see if the problem persists?

Also did you try my suggestion of the 'hidden' option, or using split windows,
etc. for buffer switching speed?

I'm pretty sure you're stuck launching Vim with admin privileges.

You might be able to hack something together with one or more of these search
results:

https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+sudo+command

But doing that you'd need to bypass Vim's normal write mechanisms, probably with
a BufWriteCmd autocmd. I think you're better off just launching Vim with admin
rights, as people basically do on Linux when editing system files (using "sudo"
to give root access).

Thanks, it works fine. If the name contained in the <a>...</a> contains
illegal characters, such as : * ? / | how can I convert them to - or
remove them?

Also, please see this comment in my plugin SudoEdit:

Suggestions? How about accolades :-)  That's pretty sweet!  I do
enough of these explanations by hand that this may become my go-to
script instead of doing laboring over it (and this is coming from a
guy who doesn't install scripts lightly--I've only got one in my
5-line vimrc)

Just modify where the file is named in the writefile() function.  I
suspect you want something like

   call writefile([...], substitute(a:name, '[:*?/|]', '_', 'g') .
'.txt')

to change the characters to a "_" (or you can just make it an empty
string to nuke them instead of translate them).  This is also where
I'd tweak to strip off whitespace from either side of the filename,
or other such cleanup.

Some observations:
You already parse \v \V \m and \M
but then you should also output the meaning of those atoms

:%>l doesn't seem to work correctly:
:ExplainPattern \%>1l\&\%<6l
   match below line 1
   \&         AND branch
   match above line 6
(obviously otherway around)

:ExplainPattern: \%>'a1
\%>'a1     literal string (5 atom(s))
(wrong, its 1 after mark a (2atoms)


Possible enhancements:
- maybe show captured string, if simple atom
     \1         match first captured string

- possibly highlight matching patterns, so you can see, what
   :ExplainPattern <pattern> matches in the current buffer)

- :ExplainPattern: \%x31
     \%x31      match character specified with hex number 0x31
     (display character)

I have issues with my Vim 7.0 at work.

I edit Verilog RTL files. When I initially load a new buffer/file on gVim, the
Syntax highlighting works correctly. When I run a 'force re-edit' (through
:edit!) or open an existing buffer (i.e. :edit existing_alternate_file) the
syntax highlighting is lost.

In other words:
It appears that when loading a New Buffer, gVim runs the correct sequence of
syntax scripts needed to load the Verilog syntax coloring. But gVim chokes when
I switching between existing buffers.

Can anyone assist?

How are you setting the syntax? Do you have automatic filetype detection turned
on (correct), or do you just set the filetype/syntax in your .vimrc?

What exact command do you use to open a new buffer/file so that you see the
highlighting?

v0.2 is out, now it says

Pattern: [^/]
    [^/]       collection not matching [/]

There is a technical limit ... ExplainPattern only understands
magic patterns.

Thanks for spotting!
He, "above" and "below" are ambiguous!

Now it says:
Pattern: \%>1l\&\%<6l
    \%>1l      match below line 1 (towards end of buffer)
    \&         AND branch
    \%<6l      match above line 6 (towards start of buffer)

ok, fixed.

I don't get exactly what you mean.

You can search for a pattern and then do
      :ExplainPattern /

> - :ExplainPattern: \%x31
>      \%x31      match character specified with hex number 0x31
>      (display character)

now it says

Pattern: \%x31
    \%x31      match character specified with hex number 0x31 (1)
