What went wrong

15s startup time, extremely slow

interesting lines from --startuptime logging:

Also looks like :ALEInfoToClipboard is making my nvim hang before it gets the full output so I used :ALEInfo instead

Is there a way to further profile while loading these .vim files is taking so long?

Reproducing the bug

Steps for repeating the bug:

1. nvim README.md --startuptime vim.log in phorust/phorust.github.io
2. Observe 15s startup time

Are you sure ALE is to blame here? I don't notice any problems myself, and I can't see anything that would cause a long startup time.

I also use write-good for Markdown files (have for a long time) and never noticed any performance problems, much less startup delays.

Ok, pretty confident now after removing polygot that this is polyglot's fault... I probably will just not use polyglot and add my own language plugins anywho. Sorry for the noise
