When I start it in a terminal windows (nox) I get the "F1 *scratch*" screen right away but it takes me about 70 seconds before the screen allows me to enter anything. However, when I start emacs with the "-q" option it starts instantly (under one second). So, it appears that the slowness is due to some .el or .elc file that emacs is loading when it starts. I looked around and removed all the the files I thought might be causing the problem but to no avail. So, what I would like to see is exactly _which_ files emacs is loading when it starts. How can I generate such a list? Environment information: Debian Etch, GNU Emacs 21.4.1
