Plugin takes 3-6 seconds to load via pathogen about vim-pathogen HOT 4 CLOSED

It's because Vim is scanning every file in the vim-wakatime/plugin/packages/ folder on startup. I think autoload folders are the only exception?

I've moved vim-wakatime/plugin/packages to vim-wakatime/autoload/packages with wakatime/vim-wakatime@f9e5760, maybe this will speed things up.

I spy use of the Python interface. My guess is it's somewhere in that black box.

It's interesting that even if I remove the main .vim file, it still takes that amount of time to load (though, of course, the actual plugin isn't functional).

I think that's only true of the plugin/ directory; you could move packages/ up to the top and be fine too.
