As far as I can tell, vim's encryption is pretty weak.  From the 
documentation (":help encrypt" in vim 7.1)...

  - The algorithm used is breakable.  A 4 character key in about 
    one hour, a 6 character key in one day (on a Pentium 133 PC).  
    This requires that you know some text that must appear in the 
    file.  An expert can break it for any key.  When the text has 
    been decrypted, this also means that the key can be revealed, 
    and other files encrypted with the same key can be decrypted.

If you switch to gpg's public/private key encryption, it's less 
convenient but much, much harder to break (assuming you keep your 
private key safe).

I see some general tips here, to make things easier:
