I do have the same problem of GVim takes a long time to start-up,
~6-8s to get the screen shown which previously was working snappily. I
also have the same problem when saving/writing changes to disk. It
takes ~10s to even write the file!

Looking at the Task Manager, it seems that the MS Security Essential
is the culprit that is causing the behaviours. Turning off MSSE's real-
time protection seems to make it to start-up and saving files quicker.

Just some observations...
