Yes, I remember Eight Megs Always Continually Swapping...  :)

But you're right -- by today's standards, it's a very thin application.
On my system, it launches in about one second, even with all the stuff
I've got in my ~/.emacs.  Everything is nearly instant, and if anything
ever causes system-wide problems, you can be sure it's never Emacs.

It's gone from being regarded as a monstrosity to a model citizen
desktop application, all just because everything else got go bloated in
comparison.
