mutt+vim+putty ... long delay in opening vim(1) ?

["Wilkinson, Alex" <alex.wilkinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I use vim as $editor with Mutt 1.5.16. When I use vim with eterm(1) on FreeBSD
CURRENT it opens instantaneously, however, occasionally I use Putty on Windows
and ssh(1) into FreeBSD and vim literally takes 20 seconds to open. $TERM is
set to xterm.

Can anyone recommend what could be wrong ($TERM??) and or how to debug this ?

Cheers
