I am not sure how this discrepancy is arising. Here is the full log. https://pastebin.mozilla.org/uTrJ7i8N
I see 234ms (out of those 656ms, ~35%) due to VimEnter autocommands. My autocommands are just scattered throughout vimrc. Most of them are like: au FileType <list> [mappings|calls] Maybe there is a way to organize them better? And there are a ton of plugins too. Is there any way to only source them conditionally? I can also try removing some of the old plugins. I haven't done a cleanup in a while. -- Manas -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
