Profiling Vim startup time

I’ve got a lot of plugins enabled when using Vim – I have collected plugins over the years. I’m a bit fed up with how long Vim takes to start now, so I’d like to profile its startup and see which of the many plugins I have are responsible.

Is there any way to profile Vim’s startup or script-running? Ideally I’d like to know how long Vim spends in each Vim script it loads.

Another command line util to profile vim startup time written in go.

From the GitHub page:

$ vim-startuptime

By default, it tries to run vim and :quit immediately 10 times, collects the results and outputs a summary of them to stdout.
