For a big difference between a _vendor_ emacs and your personally
installed version, I'd suspect the vendor's version doing something
stupid in `default.el' or `site-lisp.el'.
On a 1GHz PIII w/256MB of memory (but generally a rather crap system,
speedwise) I get the following results:
With init file Without init file (-q)
X No X (-nw) X No X (-nw)
emacs 20.7 0.68 0.27 0.40 0.05
emacs 21.3.50 0.73 0.42 0.29 0.07
[I executed the command `time emacs ...options... -f kill-emacs'
and used the `real' time, eyeball averaged over a bunch of runs.]
Note that if you have a very small .emacs file and don't use X, your
startup times should be very small indeed.... :-)
