Re: 10 second startup for emacs on system with 1GB ram Athlon64 3200. postgresql shared memory issues. vi ok immediate
OOps: The problem was that emacs was doing a reverse dns lookup or something.
The clue was "10 seconds".
As soon as I put the hostname and ip in /etc/hosts emacs went back to
immediate.
I have never been able to configure a local caching dns server on debian with
bind. I dont know how, despite all the reading I have done. So I just
fix /etc/hosts
which is of course the dumb way.
On the other hand on my main machine, I do have a 5 second startup delay of
emacs while it does all sorts of things that I know nothing about:
such things as
ede-speedbar
semantic-idle
flash by in the minibuffer. What in the world is that?
How to dispense with it?
