I've got plenty of RAM, HOME set, etc, etc

I downloaded and installed the out-of-the-box tei-emacs installation. 
Commenting out the (load-library "tei-emacs-init") from site-start.el 
results in an very fast load, so the problem is somewhere in the tei/psgml 
stuff.

I guess the next thing to try is a vanilla installation as per Markus 
Hoenika's website.

Is there any option or flag that would trace or profile what the startup 
code is actually doing ?



Regards,

Dave
