 Hi.

1) You have installed one of the following packages: vim-athena, vim-gnome,
vim-gtk. Yet you do not have X available.
On startup, vim tries to locate an X server, fails, tries again etc.

Solution: remove these packages, install one of 'vim' or 'vim-nox'.


2) You're using any of libvte9-based terminal emulator (gnome-terminal,
xfce4-terminal, lxterminal to name a few).
It seems that wheezy's libvte9 has some kind of performance regression, which
visibly affects speed of any ncurses-based programs.

Solution: use a real terminal emulator, such as 'xterm' or 'rxvt-unicode'.


3) Run:

strace -ttfo /tmp/mutt mutt

edit any mail, exit.

Strace's output (/tmp/mutt) with timings should give you some clues about a
cause of a problem.


 Reco.
