Re: Using an org based init file slows down emacs startup by 50x..help needed :(

Hi Xebar,

An simple alternative is to do what I do: keep your init file in an org
mode file, and simple tangle it manually whenever you do changes.  In
this way you avoid the overload of the tangling process at startup.  My
emacs starts in about 10 seconds.
