This was done multiple times and time ranged from 45 to 85 secs I installed benchmark that I got from github https://github.com/dholm/benchmark-init-el and it gave the following Module | Type | ms [^] |total ms ucs-normalize require 3219 3219 auto-complete require 2188 3282 default load 1610 1610 c:/gnu/initfiles/.ido_config.el load 1469 9907 pcache require 1406 3579 c:/gnu/initfiles/.cygwin_config.el load 1391 3688 flycheck require 1375 5794 ... ess-site load 266 15767 The above is an elided list of big time spenders. I was tinkering with .Emacs and this is how I load them (setq user-emacs-directory "c:/gnu/initfiles/.emacs.d/") (require 'package) (setq package-enable-at-startup nil) (package-initialize) (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.emacs_new") ;; this calls the package ;; config files below (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.text_config.el") (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.ido_config.el") (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.ac_config.el") (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.r_ess_config.el") (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.cygwin_config.el") (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.uniq_config.el") (load-file "c:/gnu/initfiles/.smex_config.el") Not sure why this slowness that is affecting all buffers now as I can see a noticable lag when typing or opening a dired file or buffer sivaram --
