Not quite true. There are ways to do things in the background by using
the shell or an integrated scripting language like Python. Most
plugins don't use them, though. See the following:

Yes, I have same problem with CScope. I haven't gotten around to
making my setup commands asynchronous, but I intend to do
so...sometime.

I don't use CCTree, if it's possible to load a pre-generated tree from
a file rather than generating it every time you open Vim, you could
create a command which would launch another Vim in the background,
generate this file, exit Vim, and call back into the current Vim
telling it to load the file. This could use the same techniques
discussed in the tip mentioned above.
