For a big difference between a _vendor_ emacs and your personally installed version, I'd suspect the vendor's version doing something stupid in `default.el' or `site-lisp.el'. On a 1GHz PIII w/256MB of memory (but generally a rather crap system, speedwise) I get the following results: With init file Without init file (-q) X No X (-nw) X No X (-nw) emacs 20.7 0.68 0.27 0.40 0.05 emacs 21.3.50 0.73 0.42 0.29 0.07 [I executed the command `time emacs ...options... -f kill-emacs' and used the `real' time, eyeball averaged over a bunch of runs.] Note that if you have a very small .emacs file and don't use X, your startup times should be very small indeed.... :-) -Miles -- o The existentialist, not having a pillow, goes everywhere with the book by Sullivan, _I am going to spit on your graves_.
