title: How can I make Emacs start-up faster?
body: <p>I use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs" rel="noreferrer">Emacs</a> v. 22 (the console version, either remotely with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY" rel="noreferrer">PuTTY</a> or locally with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konsole" rel="noreferrer">Konsole</a>) as my primary text editor on Linux. It takes a while to load up each time I start it though, probably almost a second, although I never timed it. I tend to open and close Emacs a lot, because I'm more comfortable using the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29" rel="noreferrer">Bash</a> command-line for file/directory manipulation and compiling.</p>
  
  <p>How can I speed up the start-up time?</p>
