Someone showed me how to do this before but I can't figure out what it was now.
I know about :set paste but this is not the problem.

First, get a feel for how fast Vim can be: run with vim -u NONE and comment out everything in your . vimrc - then do the single thing that seems slow. Run without the -u NONE and compare. It should be just as fast, or some plugin is autoloaded and is causing problems.
That makes the default paste buffer map to X's clipboard. So, if I mark a bit of text in a terminal, I can simply press p to paste it in vim. Similarly, I can yank things in vim (e.g. YY to yank the current line into the buffer) and middle click in any window to paste it.
For copy: Place cursor on starting of block and press md and then goto end of block and press y'd. This will select the block to paste it press p. For cut: Place cursor on starting of block and press ma and then goto end of block and press d'a.
vim Inserting text Disable auto-indent to paste code Just press F3 in insert mode, and paste. Press F3 again to exit from the paste mode.
Use "*p or "*P to paste from the system clipboard instantly.
Vim must be compiled with +clipboard for this to work.
See :help clipboard for more information.

This is a buffer flush-to-disk problem. Vim tries to keep your work safe and doesn't assume you can type several thousand characters per second. Read :help swap-file for some details on the buffering. The solution to your problem is this:
Turn off vim's swapfile either with:
vim -n <your file> or from within vim before the paste:
:set noswapfile See :help swapfile for more details.
Another option is to simply turn off the syncing to disk of the swap file with :set swapsync= but this option takes more keystrokes to undo and I'm lazy. :)
Turning off swap is not safe for normal operations! Immediately after the paste, either use :set swapfile or :set swapsync=fsync to revert back to normal behavior (though technically, normal behavior might have been sync and not fsync, check with :set swapsync? beforehand if you want to go this route).
