Lazy.nvim Optimization

Optimize Neovim startup time and runtime performance through effective lazy-loading strategies and plugin configuration with lazy.nvim.

Understanding Startup Performance

Neovim startup involves several phases:

1. Initialization - Load init.lua, set options
2. Plugin loading - Load plugin managers and plugins
3. Plugin configuration - Run setup() functions
4. UI render - Display first buffer

Target startup times:

• Excellent: < 30ms
• Good: 30-50ms
• Acceptable: 50-100ms
• Needs optimization: > 100ms
