I guess I now have the opportunity to study statistics again.

Looks like they are on par and well below 50 ms (Vim = zero plugin, Neovim = 5 plugins):

» time nvim +qa
nvim +qa  0,03s user 0,02s system 79% cpu 0,062 total

Well, I knew it, you knew it, everybody knows it. Windows is not a high quality product. I really wanted to like it, and I geniunely loved some aspects of it.

The culprit seems to be ttimeoutlen which defaults to 1000 (i.e., the default value of timeoutlen). When set ttimeoutlen=100 like in Neovim, everything works smoothly. #vim
