Re: GVim Win32 on Win7 suddenly very slow to load

Scripts and Vim definitely didn't change - the only thing updated was some Windows software.

Interestingly, it seems to have returned to full speed now, after rebooting a couple more times.  I had rebooted the system once or twice while installing the updates, and saw the behaviour after the reboots.  So I rebooted again to check if one more reboot would fix the issue (as far as Win7 has come, it still needs a swift kick in the reset button sometimes), with no luck.  ... But as of today it seems OK again.

Very odd.

Perhaps Windows was doing some heavy-duty indexing in the background ... that took 5 days ... to resolve... ?

I dunno.  Very very odd.

I'll look into ProcMon - maybe it would have revealed what Win7 was up to and I could have saved us all some time and random flailing about.  :P

Thanks everyone!  For now, I think we can call this resolved (?) by the dark power that is the Repeated Windows Reboot...  :/

If your scripts and vimrc haven't changed but your Windows has,
ProcMon [1] may help pinpoint what's going on.
