Yes, me too, I noticed very sluggish response until I ran &quot;--disable-font-backend&quot;.&nbsp; But now, when I specify --disable-font-backend I get a message in the *Messages* buffer:<br><br>command-line-1: Unknown option `--disable-font-backend&#39;<br>

Since the font-backend merge `emacs -q&#39; pauses for several seconds<br>
before the splash screen is displayed. &nbsp;Anyone else seeing this?<br>
