Startuptime not as fast as described

shaunsingh opened this issue 4 years ago · 7 comments

When running time neovim +q, the fastest result I get is

real    0m0,160s
user    0m0,123s
sys    0m0,037s

Only reason I was wondering is because I was looking to speed up my own config as well, but even without any lazy loading and a decently long plugin list, its still a tad bit faster than yours

I'm also curious about this. I assumed it was measured on a faster machine than mine. Did you measure with nvim --startuptime as well?

Answer 2 · 2021-06-15T21:55:57.000Z

with nvim --startuptime it shows 158ms total, which is about the same.

My machine is an m1 MacBook Pro, the ssd reads at about 2.6gb/s, so I don't think that should be the issue either.

Is your drive encrypted?

I get about 55ms for the default config. But I'm on a 1920x threadripper and an nvme drive

My drive is unencrypted, but it might be because of macOS.

Are you on 0.5 or 0.4 of neovim? I'm on 0.5

If you pull up the activity monitor, does the architecture for neovim say apple? If so, it's running natively. If not, it's running under rosetta.

I was using 0.5 and neovim/alacritty/fish were all installed natively

I'm not sure what happened but recently it became much faster. It might've been a bug upstream with neovim. Thanks for all the help!
