In my case, it is not when Emacs regains focus but rather when one tries 
to perform an action: typing, saving, cutting text, and so forth. It 
does not appear to be limited to just keyboard initiated actions, since 
I experience the pauses when using the toolbar, too.

However, I didn't have a HOME environment variable set, so I gave that a 
try. It did not change my experience, but it was a great suggestion.

On that topic: vanilla Emacs/w32 (i.e. emacs.exe -q --no-site-file) says 
(expand-file-name "~") => "c:/Users/mdaniel/AppData/Roaming". Is there 
some good reason why it chooses AppData\Roaming instead of 
\Users\mdaniel like intuition would predict? This is not specific to 
Vista, BTW; on XP it thinks "C:\Documents and 
Settings\mdaniel\Application Data" is "~".

I will certainly give Vincent's custom distribution a whirl and see how 
that works out. Everyone needs an installation of LaTeX on their 
machine, anyway. :-)

   Thanks for your help,
