On my machine, WinXP on Pentium4, 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, it takes about 0.4
seconds to start  latex-suite. I measured this by starting gvim on an
empty file (so that vim-latex is not activated) and then doing:

:python import time
:exec 'python tic =3D time.time()' | set ft=3Dtex | exec 'python toc =3D ti=
me.time()'
:python print toc-tic

You will ofcourse need vim with python to do this.

You can try to set

let g:Tex_MathMenus =3D 0

in your ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim to reduce the time somewhat, but it
might not really help much. I am not sure why this is slower for you,
but 2 seconds seems to be in the same ballpark as 0.5 seconds, so I am
not sure if things can be much faster.
