Is this something that just started happening, or has it happened
since the start? My first thought is that you have something
huge in a register that's been preserved in your viminfo file.
If you don't care about your history/registers between sessions,
you can just delete your viminfo file.

It's also possible you have some odd configuration option such as
creating swap files (or other files) on a network drive that
needs to reconnect on startup; or plugin that triggers the slow
startup. You might try starting vim with

vim -u NONE

to see if it behaves.
