Which version of Vim?

There was a problem struck by the Yankring plugin, caused by yanking megabytes of text; Yankring would preserve yank buffers in a file, using a single line for each buffer; there was quadratic behaviour in the readfile function if the file being read had long lines. So the problem would come and go, depending on what you yanked. I tracked it down and submitted a fix, and startup went back to milliseconds, even with megabytes of yank buffers. That became patch 7.3.427, so if your version is before that, that might be the problem.
