Having seen Dan Luu’s tweet of the table “Time to load 3 GB file, insert character at start and exit” here, I want to see how vi does file I/O and also very briefly demonstrate strace.

As I am moving my posts out from medium.com, you can access this article on its new address: https://metebalci.com/blog/a-very-short-vi-session-with-strace/.
