But with.. say, a dozen such plugins or more, this could climb to
something like a couple of seconds.

Now suppose you use Vim to edit your email messages (a common setup if
mutt is your mailer of choice) this may result in something like a total
4-5 seconds lag every time you hit the 'L' key (reply-to-list) and then
it does become noticeable.

OTOH, this pales in comparison with wasting hours (days?) when some
exotic and no-longer maintained plugin that one may have installed years
ago and completely forgotten about, starts playing foul in mysterious
ways when upgrading Vim or the OS.

This is why I suggested using the plugin in 'batch mode', so-to-speak,
and disabling it after after converting the color schemes.
