I did this, and it takes a really long time for vim to start up now when I run vim somefile.

@mbomb007, FWIW, I wrote this answer a few weeks after starting a gig for $BIG_PHARMA where I had to work on one of their beaten-up Lenovos and figured out that exact setup. The whole machine was a slug, mind you, but I didn't notice any particular startup slowdown. Long startup times can be due to Vim's inability/difficulty to connect to the X server. See if you have all the config done properly.
