I used to work with vim, but navigating in long files caused 'jumpy' scroll effect which drives me crazy - any suggestions? btw. this theme is really nice :)

Not sure if you're referring to performance, but if you are, then...

Two things that work well for me are disabling line highlighting and cursor line.

:set nocursorline

:syntax off

Disabling relative line numbers apparently helps too. (No effect for me though.)
