I now understand how the actual paging system works, but how much of the actual file is loaded into the buffer?

As far as I know, vi doesn't load the full file into the buffer (so it is possible to edit >2GB text files), but it does load what should be on screen and beyond. I think we need to use the force, read the source :D
