dear emacs wizards:
My computer is an i7-4770k with gobs of RAM and an SSD.
I am running emacs24 + emacs24-el on ubuntu linux (obtained via apt-get), and immediately install auctex and adaptive-wrap through the package manager (11.87.7 for auctex); I wish ubuntu would allow non-interactive installation by providing a package, but it's ok.
When I open a 120k tex file, it takes about 5 seconds. When I rename the .tex file to .txt in order to avoid the auctex (from .emacs), my emacs startup is instant. so I know the problem is auctex.
I don't even know how to debug this. I tried starting with --debug-init and looking at the *Messages* buffer, but this does not even tell me that auctex started up. (it tells me that 50ess.el did. interesting.) I know that adaptive-wrap mode is not at fault. removing it makes no difference.
maybe this slow startup is intrinsic. maybe it just takes a long time to colorize and process a .tex file in auctex. but 5 seconds is pretty substantial on a 120k file on an i7-4.
is this how it is supposed to be?
if not, how can I diagnose the problem and improve this?

Unknown. If you send me the file I will try opening it and timing it.

Start Emacs with nothing loaded except auctex and time it again.
Also try https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/mailing-lists.html
