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

Lennart,

I just got a 16MB usb-drive and it is just as slow for me on the computers at 
work.  At home, however, I have a mac and emacs starts up much faster (I put 
the OSX binaries in my usb-drive as well).  I'm not sure this is a OSX vs 
Windows issue or a USB drive issue.  In theory the computers at work are USB 
2.0 compliant.

For yasnippet -- yes this is what I submitted to Yasnippet.  However, I don't 
think anything has been done with it yet.

As far as org-mode, I do use it all of the time.  However, I don't use every 
feature all the time.  For example, using org-babel R is unnecessary unless I 
have a R source code block.  I would like to optimize this feature.


Matt.

org-mode is slowing down my startup a bit, but I use it so I do not
care. (I load part of it in nXhtml to avoid doubling code.)

Was it you that submitted this to yasnippet?

I just bought a new one, 16MB and very cheap. Much fast than my old 2MB...

No, just autoload, split and rearranged to avoid too much unnecessary loading.
