Using the above I extended it to byte compile any file
that's major mode is emacs lisp.
Please suggest improvements.
(defun autocompile nil
"Automatically byte compile a file if it is in
emacs-lisp-mode."
(interactive)
(if (string= major-mode "emacs-lisp-mode")
(progn

I doubt that it > makes that much difference. It does make a difference for me (but only a few seconds difference), but I probably have too much junk in it. At any rate, I moved most of the junk to subsidiary files, which I do compile (and have to remember to recompile whenever I change them), and have my (uncompiled) .emacs do little more than load them. At any rate, even when I didn't compile, the overhead was a one-time (per boot) overhead of a few seconds, so not compiling was never really a problem.

At any rate, I moved most of I'd be interested to see this. Have you actually measured it? The only reason I can think of to see such a difference is if your .emacs uses autoloaded macros, where the .elc file ends up not loading the macro's definition.

I had not measured it very accurately, but I thought I had counted to myself as it was loading and noticed the difference. However, I just tried it out (on a freshly booted system each time) and let Emacs measure the times. There was no real difference in the times. So ... oops or something.
