Is this a PC that is attached to a network that has IT governing HOMEDRIVE?


It is on a PC, but IT aren't controlling the $VIM directory

4579.000  030.000  030.000: sourcing $VIM\_gvimrc
42416.000  37840.000: starting GUI

 

Reason being, 5 seconds was to open $VIM\_gvimrc (which, on my computer is %HOMEDRIVE%\_vimrc).  If you have latency when accessing %HOMEDRIVE% perhaps that is your issue?


$VIM is c:\vim.  I have the vim binaries installed in c:\vim; the runtime files are in c:\vim\runtime and my configuration is in c:\vim\vimfiles.  c:\vim\_vimrc and c:\vim\_gvimrc each have one line in them: `runtime vimrc` / `runtime gvimrc`, which causes vim to read the vimrc/gvimrc file in c:\vim\vimfiles.  The folder c:\vim\vimfiles is under (mercurial) version control, hence wanting the configuration files in there rather than in the folder above.
 
The C: drive is a local SSD, so it seems unlikely that it would be the cause of the delay (although who knows what extra slow-downs the IT department have introduced!)
