[SLL] vim is slow to launch

Hi SSL,

   I'm experiencing a strange vim problem.  Anytime I launch vim, there
   is a 4 second delay.  Very annoying.  This is with a mostly stock
   ubuntu 7.10 install.  Running with -V1 reveals:

ryan at dorje:~$ /usr/bin/vim.full -V1
XSMP opening connection   -- a few second pause --

XSMP SmcOpenConnection failed: Could not open network socket
not found in 'runtimepath': "ftdetect/*.vim"
Opening the X display took 0 msec
Testing the X display failed
Opening the X display took 0 msec
Testing the X display failed
Reading viminfo file "/home/ryan/.viminfo" infoOpening the X display
took 3 msecTesting the X display failed
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I'm sshed into the box remotely, so why is it even trying to test the X
display?  What tells vim to do anything X?  I cannot find any config
files, aliases or google searches about this.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,
    Ryan
