I regularly edit my .emacs file, and the community has been helpful and encouraging. But I do notice that Emacs can take several (10) seconds or longer to load. For reference, I'm using Emacs 24.1 for Mac OS X, Windows, and Android. I keep my .emacs synced, shared, and backed up on GitHub. https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/.emacs Could someone help me cut down the load time while maintaining the same behavior?
