Yes, thank you.  With -c q it was flashing past too quickly to see.  I was 
misled by this in the help for 'fileencoding':

        To read a file in a certain encoding it won't work by setting
        'fileencoding', use the |++enc| argument.

Yes, thank you.

    vim --cmd "set fencs=latin1" file.txt

(finally) works to avoid the slowdown.
