The length of time Vim waits after you stop typing before it triggers the plugin is governed by the setting `updatetime`. This defaults to `4000` milliseconds which is rather too long. I recommend around `750` milliseconds but it depends on your system and your preferences.

By default vim-gitgutter runs often so the signs are as accurate as possible. However on some systems this causes a noticeable lag. If you would like to trade a little accuracy for speed, add this to your `~/.vimrc`:
