My generic answer to emacs startup questions is to use
one of the client / server packages, gnuclient or
emacsclient.
I typically start emacs and leave it running for weeks
or months at a time, connecting new clients as needed.
Besides eliminating your zillion messages, starting
a client is much faster then starting emacs.
