RE: [h-e-w] Speeding up Emacs

Lennart,

Other than org-mode, major modes are working as I expect.  The minor modes that 
I always use are taking some time to load. For some, like Yasnippet, I have 
implemented yas-jit to load snippets on demand, though it still takes some time 
to load.

Some of the load-times are affected by the SLOW speed of the usb-drive;  I have 
modified my emacs-startup script to check to see if bare binaries and 
emacs-lisp files are copied to the %TEMP% directory, and run from there.  That 
speeds up the load, but it still takes 10-45 seconds to load.  I keep the ELPA 
package repository on the USB-file as well as my user configuration, which may 
add to my startup time.

In your nxhtml-mode did you do anything to efficiently load certain features.  
I am also thinking about doing this for one of the modes I have written.

Matt.

Matt, I wonder if your autloading works as you expect it do. Have you
checked that?

I did some work on getting nXhtml to load faster and was surprised by
that autoloading actually loaded more files if I did not byte compile
all files.
