Hi,
for my zsh I split the .zshrc in several files, which contain only
related things. For example all "bindkey"-related things go into
.zsh.bindkey.
.zshrc only sources those parts if available. Make things more
readable.
I would like to do the same thing with my $HOME/.vimrc.
I looked into
:he source
but "source" seems to work for ex commands only, or ?
Is there a way, to "source" several files as startup files from
within $HOME/.vimrc, without a too great performance penalty on
startup time ?
Keep hacking!

Your vimrc is supposed to consist of ex-commands only (ex-commands are the
commands you can type in Normal mode by prefixing them with a colon; in a
script such as the vimrc, the colon is not necessary). So you should be able
to dissect your vimrc into, let's say,
if has('unix')
language messages C
else
language messages en
endif
runtime vimrc_example.vim
source ~/rc1.vim
source ~/rc2.vim
source ~/rc3.vim
An alternative would be to create "user-plugins", scripts which you would
place in ~/.vim/plugin/ (for Unix) or ~/vimfiles/plugin/ (for Windows). They
would then be sourced automagically in (probably) alphabetical order, just
before the global plugins (i.e., after your ~/.vimrc): see the output of the
":scriptnames" command.
(and if you don't yet have the required directory, create it with:
on Linux:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/plugin
on Windows:
cd %HOME%
md vimfiles
cd vimfiles
md plugin
Best regards,
