runemacs.exe starts up almost instantaneously for me on a 5-year-old Dell laptop and Win10. Maybe two seconds from typing em.bat myfile.java to seeing my file presented and ready to edit.
I usually install Emacs on whatever platform I'm given: Windows, Linux, Mac. It's the only editor that I can use consistently across systems. Usually I copy my .emacs file as well, to get all my preferred mappings etc.
- NoGravitas 4y agoDo you use many Emacs packages? My Emacs dashboard on Windows says "120 packages loaded in 22.7 seconds". On a ThinkPad X230 running Linux, the same config starts in around 2 seconds. I will say that 'runemacs -Q' on a few-years-old Dell desktop does start in about 2 seconds.
- blisterpeanuts 4y agojust a few add-ons, mostly stock Emacs. 22.7 seconds sounds unusable, I will agree.
- NoGravitas 4y agoIt's normally fine given I usually only start it once a week.
