Hehe, is it anything in Vim that isn't customizable.

You can compile the whole of Phobos in that time... <g>

LOL. Yeah. Well, I wrote it using gvim, and it handles it just fine. And honestly, in some respects, it's actually easier to deal with it all in one file than it would be if it were split it up. The unittests and documentation are probably 2/3 of the file anyway. So, yeah. It's large. But it works.
