A Neovim plugin written in Lua that speeds up editor startup by caching compiled Lua module bytecode and module path resolutions. It is now obsolete as of Neovim 0.9, which provides equivalent functionality via the built-in vim.loader module.

Use cases

  • speed up neovim startup time
  • cache compiled lua modules in neovim
  • reduce lua module load time in nvim
  • profile neovim plugin loading performance
  • optimize slow neovim init

When to choose

  • you are running Neovim 0.7 or 0.8 and want faster startup
  • you need profiling of Lua module load times on older Neovim

When to avoid

  • you are on Neovim 0.9 or newer - use the built-in vim.loader.enable() instead
  • you rely on strict runtimepath load ordering, which the module resolution cache breaks
