This is a serious problem with some Vim plugins and plugin interactions; the user doesn't feel like they've done anything wrong, and yet text insertion is absolutely sluggish. Tex plugins in particular combined with text folding seem prone to this problem.
For the record though, this slowness has nothing to do with Vim itself, or the low power of the netbook; it is purely due to inauspicious interaction between specific plugins and can be fixed at the .vimrc level if you are willing to debug.
