Hi Tony,

Thanks! I guess I'm just curious why the start time slows down so dramatically 
if that variable is not defined.

Try

if $GOROOT != ""
set rtp+=$GOROOT/misc/vim
endif

Or else, use the standard directories ($HOME/.vim and $HOME/.vim/after for 
user-private scripts, $VIM/vimfiles and $VIM/vimfiles/after for system-wide 
scripts not distributed with Vim, and $VIMRUNTIME — at the moment, normally 
$VIM/vim74 — for ONLY the files that come with Vim). These are the 
'runtimepath' default. On Unix-like OSes, $VIM is usually /usr/local/share/vim 
but it may vary a little from one installation to the next; one factor may be 
whether you compiled Vim yourself or got it from the same source as your OS.

One way to "have it both ways" if you don't need _different_ scripts in 
$GOROOT/misc/vim and $HOME/.vim is to symlink the latter to the former on 
installations where $GOROOT is defined.

Best regards,
Tony.

Re: Speeding up cold startup

2013-12-10 Thread Kevin Burke
So I used binary search to track down the issue and narrowed it to this line in 
my vimrc:

set rtp+=$GOROOT/misc/vim

If $GOROOT is not set, vim gets very slow (for me 'Starting GUI' takes about 
5.5 seconds). Otherwise macvim boots in about half a second, which isn't great, 
but is fast enough for me.

I can produce more info if it'll be useful for debugging but you'll have to 
show me how.

For comparison: on my 2010 MacBook Air it takes 15 ms to start console
Vim and about 140 ms to start GUI Vim (as measured with "vim -g -u
NONE --startuptime start.txt").  To me that is more than fast
enough...

This is how I start MacVim GUI and terminal:

MACVIM="/Applications/MacVim/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim";
if [ -e "$MACVIM" ]; then
  alias vim="$MACVIM ${@}";
  alias gvim="$MACVIM -g ${@}";

My copy of MacVim (snapshot 70) on 10.6.8 takes a full ten seconds to
launch from cold (so does console Vim too). Even launching console Vim
with no plugins & no vimrc, it takes three seconds.

On Linux, Ubuntu 13.04 & SL 6.4 launch instantaneously whereas all the
rest take between two to three seconds.

All machines have the same plugins & same vimrc.

Cheers,

  Phil...

Speeding up cold startup

2013-10-14 Thread Kevin Burke
Hi,
Are there any tricks I can use to speed up Macvim's cold startup? It takes 
maybe a second to load on my machine, when it's called via the "mvim" 
executable.

The last post I could find about speeding up about Macvim was from 2008 - 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/vim_mac/bEC5e4BLb-4/nkMIsfsRygUJ... has 
any progress been made since then, or are there any outstanding areas that 
could be sped up?

Best,
Kevin
