When I run vim with --startuptime, I see only two autocommand events, "BufEnter autocommands" and "VimEnter autocommands", and they each consume only a few milliseconds. If you are seeing significantly longer times than these, I would suspect one or two of your autocommands are taking an extraordinarily long time to run. Since --startuptime doesn't resolve individual autocommands, and since -V doesn't include times, your best bet for finding the problem may be some sort of binary search for the offending autocommand(s). That is, comment-out half of your autocommands, check --startuptime times again, see how much they improved, then comment-out or un-comment-out half of the appropriate set and repeat. Once you find the one(s) taking a long time, you can post them here for some advice on improving those times. Regards, Gary -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
