Hmm... It does take a chunk of time. Much longer than FC1... I just modified /usr/share/emacs/site-list/site-start.d/iiimecf-init.el so the four lines are commented out and my startup improved a bunch. If a user wants it they could put it in their $HOME/.emacs . Commenting out the four lines in iiimecf-init.el does make a big difference. For me startup goes down from 5.1 to 1.5 seconds on a 1GHz AMD box. Might work if you want these functions for some users and not for others. There are many other site-lisp things that may not be necessary at the site level too. > I have tried putting my old > CH> .emacs file in my /home/username directory, but that > CH> has no effect, because this file seems to be loading > CH> before my .emacs file is loaded. No such luck... strace tells me that LOTS of stuff is autoloaded then $HOME/.emacs is inspected.

Good idea. > Sometimes it doesn't pay to install everything. :) But emacs is a kitchen sink + swiss army knife tool why not load it all ;-) -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
