sure it would - but it also means calling an external program at startup.
Well, if all else fails...
system('uname') measures as 2 millisec on my Linux. If this is
still bothering you (vim startup time can be ~0.10-0.2 sec
because of plugins), you can
1. read /proc/version file and analyze the contents
2. use vim's libcall(): make your own shared library
with a function that calls uname(), and call it via libcall()
3. use perl interface, and invoke perl's POSIX::uname()
