GVim Win32 on Win7 suddenly very slow to load

Starting after I upgraded to VisDev 2010 and applied a couple of the recent patches for Win7 yesterday and today, my Vim is very slow to load when launched from my windows shortcut.  However, it's very fast if I launch from a Cygwin command line.

I found the threads on scripts and other startup time issues, as well as using --startuptime.  The scripts seem unlikely to be a problem - they haven't changed and the same install runs fine from Cygwin command line startup.  I went ahead and nuked _viminfo - but that didn't help.  So I ran both the Win32 shortcut and Cygwin command line with the --startuptime option.  When I compare them there are a lot of differences - many (but not all) of the .vim file sources run a lot slower (increases of hundreds to thousands of msecs), and 'starting GUI' jumps from almost nothing (030.000) to the worst single offender (6625.000).

Any ideas on how I can track down what's up and (hopefully) fix it?

Cheers,

-Greg
