Startup > takes forever, and C-v takes about 2 seconds. It looks like the vertical scrollbars are the culprit for the 2 sec page scroll. I turned them off and Emacs became usable again. Startup still takes forever though. Apparently the GTK+ scrollbars in Emacs 22 are very heavyweight. The Emacs 21 I was using was built with the X Toolkit scrollbars and it works much better for remote X11 usage. Interestingly, the -D and --basic-display startup options don't seem to have any effect on the scrollbars; Emacs starts up with a heavyweight display always. I miss the lightweight scrollbars so I guess I'll have to build Emacs 22 or 21 myself. I'll probably stick with 21 since it seemed to start much faster. -- Mark
