Re: Independent differently-configured instances running concurrently

Thanks for the details about the daemon; is there any benefit beyond reducing startup time? 

I'm sure I'll put it to use for my evolving "production" setup once I'm actually using emacs.

Well pretty much all I'm doing is testing configuration stuff ATM. Not sure what the benefit would be of having multiple daemons running?

I assume if I change a given config I'd need to kill that daemon-instance as well as any client frames to see the effects.

Thanks, will do - once I've settled on keybindings that suit me. . .
