$ emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -f batch-byte-compile <source-file(s)> will compile .el files into .elc files and speed up emacs. If you are using the Debian emacs package, all of these files should already be compiled. Most distributions of emacs functions (implemented in .el files) provide instructions on installation that includes how to compile or a Makefile that does this for you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
