That's your problem.
Somehow (most likely based on an environment variable that's set but empty or perhaps set to "/"), Vim is constructing a path name that begins with "//". That's the syntactic signal for to look for a network share. In your case, the shared named ".terminfo" is looked for. Since this is a network discovery process, a request must be sent out and a reply awaited. A timeout (and, I assume, one or more retries) is involved, and that's the root of your startup delay.
I can replicate the delay in starting Vim like this:
TERMINFO=/ vim
I didn't strace it, but I like my hunch...
This variation:
TERMINFO= vim
does not produce a delay. And, naturally, I don't ordinarily see a pause when starting Vim.
Perhaps that'll help.
