How do you get vim to display wrapped lines without inserting newlines?

Smart indenting in vim (normally great) is a disaster when pasting in a chunk of code.
I guess other editors are smart enough to turn that stuff off for pasting but when using vim in a terminal it can't distinguish between pasting and actual typing.

VimL Script language: what is an acceptable alternative?
Problem: One of my favorite aspects of Vim is its flexibility. One of my least favorite is the VimL script language itself. I know everyone has his or her own preference for languages and editors, so I take it for granted that not everyone agrees with me. Question: If you are a Vim user, and if you have had a similar disaffection for us...

Why is pasting a long one-liner very slow in Vim's insert mode?
My Macbook was stuck yesterday, when I tried to paste 1200 lines of 80 characters to Vim. It was much faster to download the file, and not to paste the text.
