I had my .emacs.d dire= ctory linked to a Dropbox directory, so that multiple hosts could share the= same .emacs.d . I figured that with the same init.el and the same elpa, a= s well as the same OS and emacs version, they should be the same. I now th= ink that either the sym-linking or the compilation did something that aucte= x did not like, just a little. not bad enough to mess it up, but not good = enough to continue the startup at normal speed. if I use fully local direc= tories, it is fast again. thanks for the pointers. best, /iaw
