I expected this and this is cool since I only start Emacs once every time I start the God-damned computer (it is even automatic), and even then, startup time is hardly bad. However, when I did some things with the -Q'd Emacs, I had a feeling typing, bringing up the M-x, and so on, everything was just a tiny microscopic bit faster... Perhaps imagination, but anyway I thought, is there a bunch of code that resembles normal usage for some interval, whatever that is (normal emaxing), so it (the benchmark code) can be used on two configs, and then the wall-clock times can be compared? If one indeed is faster than the other, is this some stupid configuration on my part or is it normal if you bring in a lot of stuff? If I populate alists, hooks, you name it, with lots of stuff (by the way, where do all the defuns go? memory? some data structure?) - yeah, that should slow it down, but will it really to the degree you'd actually notice it? -- underground experts united
