If I could just bump this : I cant find any answer than "langmap" and
that doesnt seem to work for me. I am using the default langmap and that
says

        
:langmap=c\:.c.h,yacc\:.y,asm\:.s.S,java\:.java,cpp\:.c++.cc.cpp.cxx.hxx.hpp.C.H,php\:.php.php3.phtml:

so why when I save an .el file in my .emacs.d why is global -u taking 3
minutes?

This is with the debian stable global and the latest compiled from
source.

I dont want to use gtags.files as the new files wont be tagged.

It seems a very common requirement to only update tags using files of a
certain type - in this case .el files- and to my shame I cant seem to
make it work. Surely an example is possible?
