Re: auctex startup improvements and osx

[ivowel]

thank you, joost.  there is good advice on the other thread to follow, too.

alas, I also have some useful information to share.  I had my .emacs.d 
directory linked to a Dropbox directory, so that multiple hosts could share the 
same .emacs.d .  I figured that with the same init.el and the same elpa, as 
well as the same OS and emacs version, they should be the same.  I now think 
that either the sym-linking or the compilation did something that auctex did 
not like, just a little.  not bad enough to mess it up, but not good enough to 
continue the startup at normal speed.  if I use fully local directories, it is 
fast again.  thanks for the pointers.

best, /iaw
