I have become addicted to Vim keys / modal editing for programming, and also completion for C++. The problem is, what I'm using for completion/semantic completion, YouCompleteMe, while it works well, makes Vim slow to a crawl after an unpredictable amount of time between 30 minutes and two hours. I have tried everything to resolve this and it appears to be a YCM issue that the developer is unwilling/unable to address.

I know there are several other options, a big one being NeoCompleteCache, but I just want to hear what people are using for this and what has worked well for them instead of trying out a hundred other plugins and realizing I don't like them. Has anybody found a C++ completion engine that just works? A big bonus is the ability to do semantic completion based on standard libraries, and an even bigger bonus is the ability to do semantic completion on third-party libraries, but I'm willing to go with something that's a little simpler, as long as it gets variable names and such.

Should I just suck it up and buy Sublime2/vintage mode? Does that emulate the whole modal editing thing sufficiently?

I actually figured this out. It turns out that I was syntax highlighting was slowing everything down, so I added "syntax sync minlines=256" to and took out "set t_Co=256" from my vimrc and it's fast.
