Uhhm, I never touched the debian bootdisks :) It was 1.3.100, now
pre2.04 ELF compiled with all everything not essential as module.

I checked it out, all programs running at this moment were ELF (only
uucp was a.out). Emacs startup isn't so much slower, but it freezes the X
server nearly completely for some seconds before the window appears.
If I repeat the startup (directly from cache- no disc activity) the same
happens (mouse freeze).
Maybe loading of the big executable with its many libraries just uses more
cpu time?

Generally it isn't slower, I only noticed the emacs startup problem.
BTW, many thanks to all developers for their packages. There's not much left
I'm missing ;)
