So you know I need Emacs on every PC I use.

On windows7 I stick with a linuxVM when possibile, but sometime you need maximum speed, and EmacsWin32 is a good guy. Then I read the exact description of my problem…

Emacs on my Windows 7 work laptop was annoying slow when starting (around 10s). If closed and restarted, startup was immediate until, after about 30 seconds, it was slow again. According to Google, slowness might be due to failing DNS lookups of the laptop's hostname.

and I find out this solution: stop netlogon service via a command like

net stop netlogon

The add also this line to your .emacs...

(setq w32-get-true-file-attributes nil)

!UPDATED!

Okey I love emacs, you are allowed to say I am a nerd. But I use emacs. So I could solve your problems with a Ctrl-Alt-x kung fu combination, involving yoga-like finger movements.

So do not mess with me… :D (I am like the Zohan, only with glasses :)

In a nutshell, xargs is an alternative to fully expanded shell for loops. Given the right options, xargs can be made to exhibit for-loop-like behavior. But out of the box, it is a way to pipe a bunch of arguments to a single command in one fell swoop.

This can save a great deal of compute time if you are piping a long list of arguments to a command rather than iterating over them one at a time.

In  A small primer on xargs you will find a deep explanation on xargs usage. The article teach me a bunch of tricks I am not aware of (and I know Unix from ‘93….yes, 1993…).
