Slow Startup Time. about gruvbox.nvim

[ellisonleao]

@marcelarie lua modules are loaded differently, you can't measure the right startup time using this plugin, unfortunately.

hey @marcelarie how are you getting those numbers?

[marcelarie]

I don't know really, they aren't normal right?
I'm using dstein64/vim-startuptime

[marcelarie]

Then that's why, Thank you!!

I'm seeing similar results running the following in my shell:

time for i in (seq 1000)
    nvim -c ':quit'
end

Default colorscheme (with the rest of my configuration unchanged):

   sys time   20.18 secs  367.65 millis   19.81 secs

vim-gruvbox8:

vim-gruvbox8 with let g:gruvbox_filetype_hi_groups = 1:

   usr time   77.96 secs   97.95 millis   77.86 secs
   sys time   21.33 secs  384.21 millis   20.94 secs

gruvbox.nvim:

________________________________________________________
Executed in  125.75 secs    fish           external
   usr time   89.46 secs   92.28 millis   89.37 secs
   sys time   26.62 secs  416.94 millis   26.20 secs

Which honestly isn't that noticeable a difference on top of everything else, it only adds up to about a frame a 60hz. Still every little bit counts.

A clean vim for comparison:

   usr time   10.12 secs   69.48 millis   10.05 secs
