I don't think it would be any slower on his machine than mine.
Granted, I didn't have every (or any) .el loading up, but it seemed
plenty fast enough for me. Heck, Emacs has always had the rep of being
slow to start, hence emacsclient and the "keep it always open and do
everything within it" suggestions.
But anyways, he actually said "but a little bit slowly loads files but
maybe it's slow machine ?" So he's talking about loading files. I
didn't see any slowdown at all loading files, but like I said, I
didn't try anything too big. (I'll admit that loading a 100 MB file on
Vista with Emacs 23 is slower than other editors, e.g. TDE, but that's
not really a typical file size.) So it could be his hard drive is
slow. Or anything else, I dunno. We'd need more information from him
to know exactly.
