RE: Emacs unconditionally loads tramp.el

[Drew Adams]

    The thing I find annoying is how slow it is for establishing a local
    connection...

The thing I find annoying is I've never been able to get it to work on MS
Windows - I need to be able to get to a GNU/Linux box from Emacs on Windows,
but I was never able to log in with Tramp. Kai Grossjohann spent some time
trying to help me get it to work over a year ago, but we never succeeded in
understanding the problem. I gave up. Perhaps I'll try again after the
release comes out....
