Have a look at `/tmp/profile.log`. All code that was executed during profiling
will be shown. Every line, how often it was executed and how much time it took.
Most of the time that will be plugin code the user isn't familiar with, but if
you're investigating a certain issue, jump to the bottom of the log. Here are

You can use `:profile` during startup as well:
$ vim --cmd 'prof start prof.log | prof file * | prof func *' test.c

$ tail -50 prof.log
