Everything involving searching is currently probably very slow for large files, this is especially true for backward searches. The reason being that we currently rely on the regexp engine of libc and thus have to copy the underlying text to a contiguous memory area.

Navigating large files with motions like 50%, 70% should however be instantaneous. Navigating by line number is again somewhat slower, because the file actually needs to be read in this case.

Aside from that :v/ has a different meaning in vis.
