Emacs, very slow startup...

[hometoast]

This sounds like a similar problem I had with vim. I was actually running
vim thru Xwin remotely from my ubuntu box.
Initially i was running vim with GTK gui; and it moved right along and
looked great.
I rebuilt it to include some features but I (inadvertantly) changed the gui
to MOTIF. When loading with motif it took forever.
 Double check to see what gui toolkit it is using; maybe you can change it
to/from GTK, gnome, qt, motif, whatever. I'm a vim guy, but I'm sure someone
here would know how to change the default gui for [x]emacs.
 good luck,
