  • Have you tried starting emacs with emacs -q? Is it still slow? Commented Mar 19, 2015 at 16:02
  • @Timmy, yeah I've tried that. It's still way to slow for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've tried a lot of things to speed up emacs, and none have gotten it to the startup time of nano. Commented Mar 19, 2015 at 16:31
