Slow vim (gvim) 7.3 on first startup

Background: I installed Vim 7.3 from Solaris 8 library packages
downloaded from unixpackages.com (formerly sunfreeware.com) on a
Solaris 10 machine to an nfs mounted NetApp file system.

Problem: After invoking gvim for example from the command line, it
takes about 5-10 seconds for the GUI to be displayed. Every time
after that, it comes up immediately. If I log outof the server and
log back in again, it takes that same 5-10 for the first invocation
and immediate thereafter.

Problem-solving: I performed a "gvim --startuptime gvim.init.log
<file a>" for the initial run and compared it to each of the logs from
subsequent logs and and saw a blatant difference in elapsed time in
the "starting GUI" task. For example the elapsed time for the
"starting GUI" task for one of the initial invocations was: 6052.747
and a subsequent invocation was 432.376. This difference was
consistent despite the type/size of the file being loaded. All of the
other tasks were consistent across all invocations.

Does anyone have any experience in this area? Anyone else see this
issue?

thanks,

rick
