After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the excessively long vim startup times I was experiencing were caused by the Syntastic bundle. I was seeing startup times of 15 to 30+ seconds for a new file.
However, I was only seeing this on Mac OSX (Snow Leopard, Tiger), but not on Ubuntu Linux. On all of the machines I am using the same build and the same .vimrc & .vim/ Using the command "time vim -c q abc.txt" I get these times: OSX (Snow Leopard) OSX (Tiger) Ubuntu(Lucid Lynx) real 0m11.717s real 0m23.673s real 0m0.091s user 0m0.841s user 0m3.426s user 0m0.070s sys 0m0.295s sys 0m1.391s sys 0m0.000s In subsequent runs the times improve (for OSX), but not significantly. Are there any know issues that would cause this behavior on OSX and not Ubuntu? Is there any way to not auto load the Syntastic bundle, but have it available on demand.
