+Files from remote file system slow down startup!~
+
+I/O actions like resolving symbolic links or checking if a file is readable
+can be very slow on some remote file systems (Samba, NFS, FUSE, etc.) Even
+more so when done for many files.
+
+In that case it is often better to add the mount point of the remote file
+system to |g:startify_skiplist|:
+>
+    let g:startify_skiplist = ['^/mnt/nfs']
