Re: [UM-LINUX] emacs slow to start??!

For debugging anything like this, run it through strace.  For those of you not familiar, strace outputs all of the system calls.  If it's timing out on a DNS lookup or something, it'll probably even show you the domain name.

Recently, my emacs (21.3.2 on Slack 10, kernel 2.6.10) has been taking a
long time (60 sec++) to start up. This after a couple of weeks not using
it on this machine, and I'm not sure what maintainence I may have done
to change the behavior. Used to start right up. It's almost as though
it's doing a DNS lookup and timing out (it's on a laptop that connects
only to my desktop).

Tried compiling 21.4 from source and same thing.

Also --debug-init yielded no messages at all. -q didn'thelp. Nothing in
the logs, either.

Any thoughts?
