The big problem vim has in this particular test case is the XML. Vim syntax highlighting of XML is significantly slower than other syntaxes. I disable it for XML in my vimrc.
A large C or json file would be a good test case to add.
(Also, as someone else mentioned, the 3GB file also had rather long lines, some of these editors that failed on that file can handle 3GB files with ~100 character lines.)
