Oooh, that was a good shot! Setting the HOME environment variable seems
to work (again, I've only tested this on one machine so far; I'll try
the other tomorrow). It doesn't seem to matter what it's set to: I tried
c:\cygwin\home\al and also just c:\ and it both cases Vim started very
quickly.
great.
Assuming it works on the other PC then that feels like a good & simple
fix, but it'd be nice to understand why Vim goes slowly without HOME set
to anything.
fwiw, "it'd be nice to understand" why Microsoft does without a HOME
;-).
It seems it is to do with their view of a file system. It's divided into
HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH. It wd seem reasonable to insert a concatenation
of these as HOME. I hesitate to offer a command, or where it sd go.
