I can't reproduce the problems. Start-up time of GNU Emacs 23.2.1 called with
"-Q" on my up to date remote Debian Unstable machine over ssh -X to my nearly
identical system over here is basically the same as GVim's; file opening and
buffer switching, typing and calling commands is all right. The menus are a
little bit sluggish and navigating in dired via mouse clicks really is
sloooow---close to 20 seconds. Keyboard navigation works fast, though.
