Is startify causing my slow launch?

Hi. Recently, once in a while, not every time by any means, gvim takes an absolute age to start. I am profiling the timings, and a typical startup might look like:

<snip>
468.000  001.000  001.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline-themes\autoload\airline\themes\deus.vim
497.000  001.000  001.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline\autoload\airline\builder.vim
499.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline\autoload\airline\extensions\default.vim
523.000  169.000: opening buffers
524.000  001.000: BufEnter autocommands
524.000  000.000: editing files in windows
531.000  001.000  001.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-startify\autoload\startify.vim
533.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline\autoload\airline\extensions\tabline\buflist.vim
536.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-startify\autoload\startify\fortune.vim
912.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-startify\syntax\startify.vim
916.000  391.000: VimEnter autocommands
916.000  000.000: before starting main loop
931.000  015.000: first screen update
931.000  000.000: --- VIM STARTED ---

But once in a while I get something like:

<snip>
501.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline-themes\autoload\airline\themes\deus.vim
531.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline\autoload\airline\builder.vim
534.000  001.000  001.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline\autoload\airline\extensions\default.vim
558.000  183.000: opening buffers
558.000  000.000: BufEnter autocommands
558.000  000.000: editing files in windows
565.000  001.000  001.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-startify\autoload\startify.vim
567.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-airline\autoload\airline\extensions\tabline\buflist.vim
571.000  001.000  001.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-startify\autoload\startify\fortune.vim
43649.000  000.000  000.000: sourcing c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\vimfiles\bundle\vim-startify\syntax\startify.vim
43653.000  43093.000: VimEnter autocommands
43653.000  000.000: before starting main loop
43669.000  016.000: first screen update
43669.000  000.000: --- VIM STARTED ---

Is the above pointing to an issue with the startify plugin? The only change I am aware of in recent weeks is that I am using a VPN more or less full time.
