I have a fast machine here where emacs takes less than 2s to start up with iiimecf. If you don't need IIIMF support in Emacs you can just remove the "iiimf-emacs" package which includes the above init file, then the slow startup (due to loading the "un-define" from mule-ucs I think) will go away. Sometimes it doesn't pay to install everything. :) Hth, Jens
