Five seconds feels like a *really* long time for base gvim. I don't use
Windows, so perhaps my scale is off. But this feels like an eternity.

On my work machine, gvim with -u NONE takes 100 milliseconds to start.
It takes 600 milliseconds to start with my current vimrc. I use several,
but perhaps not a very large amount, of plugins. I interpret this to
mean that it might be reasonable for startuptime to multiply by a factor
of 6 or so when loading several plugins?

I'll note that a binary search for relevant plugins is probably faster
than a one-by-one search. I'm sorry I wasn't more helpful.
