This is the behavior I've come to expect from emacs. Eighteen

It's a huge app! What sort of hardware do you have? What version
of Emacs? I wouldn't run it on anything sub-pentium, myself.
I run Emacs on 586/120 an it seems very snappy... Mabe try

I suspect this isn't a problem of application size. He'd have to be

Netscape in X is another matter though. Would setting the mode to store

Netscape maintains its large cache in ~/.netscape/cache, which it
checks somehow on startup. This, I believe, contributes more to its
slow launch than its bulk does.
