There is a user on Reddit who pretends that theses latest binaries of Emacs
run slower on Windows than on Linux.
I didn't get a chance yet to give it a try.
The test is as follows :

- Install Helm from MELPA.
- Add this config to the init file, as suggested by Helm page

https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/5e3xpu/emojis_in_emacs_intentionally_disabled_for_osx/dabya5i/

If anybody has a chance to do the testing. I'm not sure about what helm
config  he is
talking about (the full one or the default one).
My guess is that something else than emacs is disturbing his load time
(antivirus ?).
But that could be nice to have something asserted about this.

Fabrice
