A must, IMHO.

Carl is right about bisecting. It does not matter how large your init file is
or how many other files it loads. That's the point of binary search.
It's easy for any of us (mea culpa) to forget this and think that it will be
easier to just ponder a little more or act on a hunch or two wrt where the
problem might arise (aka "if I can avoid it").
This feeling gets reinforced by the fact that things seem to progress very
slowly with binary search, at first. Remind yourself of the story of the
inventor of chess and the king:
