Well, the multi-language support is the primary reason for porting Emacs
:)
Since most parts of emacs are dynamically loaded when needed (from
precompiled lisp .elc files), multi-language support costs more disk-
than RAM-space, I think. Although nowadays it's preloading quite a lot
of stuff at startup. Not sure whether loading of these parts can be
delayed.
