It’s ironic that I still get lag with my vim setup running on the latest MacBook Pro today but ran a 486 and was able to write code back then with about the same or better responsiveness. Biggest issue seems syntax checking and code folding on files over 3000 lines long. Yes I know long files aren’t ideal but also for the specific project I’m currently working on it’s somewhat better than a thousand 3 line files.

In my experience, it's just some particular syntaxes that vim is slow to process - large XML/HTML files in particular. But just ":synax off" when you want responsiveness more than you want colors :)

For me it’s Python code. Django views and models. Which honestly should be pretty fast because it’s all indent based but I’ve tried a number of things and while I would up with acceptable results they still aren’t lag free.
