It depends, of course, on why it is slow. You can start vim with the --startuptime option to get a better idea of where the slowdown is. See ":help --startuptime". For example, starting vim on my Cygwin system was really slow because I wrote my vimrc and some plugins as I would for Unix, where running external programs is really fast. I re-wrote those to make less use of external programs. As another example, starting vim on a remote Linux machine via ssh and X from a local Linux machine can be slow if the connection is slow because vim communicates with the X server and the terminal on the local machine. I don't know what to do in that case other than be patient or start vim with -X and forgo some of the features of X. HTH, Gary -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
