First thing to try would be to run "gvim -u NONE -U NONE" and check
whether it's still slow, to ensure that it's not something in your .vimrc
or a plugin which is causing it.

Maybe you have the same issue as the one discussed discussed
earlier in Oct 2008. Subject was: "GVim slow on Ubuntu 8.10":

http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/browse_thread/thread/dd1d8d9a799adf4a/48d71c94bf6be986

As far as I know, no root cause has been found and it's not
fixed. Not everybody is affected by this bug which makes it
harder to debug. I'm using Ubuntu-8.10 and gvim-7.2.101 (GTK2)
and I'm not affected by this "slow gvim" bug.
