vim 7.4 takes a long time to load and quit

Hi,

  I just updated my vim version to 7.4 on my Windows 7 PC,  and found the following issues.

    1)  gvim is taking more time to load (It was already a bit slow with my earlier 7.3.46 version as well. But it is slower by another second or so after updating to 7.4)

    2)  It takes a good 4-5 seconds to close the gvim window, after I type in ":quit".  This was not experienced before.

  When I ran gvim -startuptime <file>, it showed around 4 seconds on "starting GUI", which is apparently causing this delay.   Is it possible to analyze/display the reasons for this delay in starting GUI?  How can this be fixed? 

  On a related note, I have experienced this delay in some of the linux machines I work on.   The version used in linux (Redhat Rhel 5)  is 7.3.343. The delay is caused by the same stage, ("starting GUI").  It would be great if someone can suggest how to debug this further as it is annoying to wait for 4 seconds for gvim to comeup (And I work mosly on the linux environment)

Thanks,

Anith.
