Re: Cool and Useful LISP for the .emacs file

Better yet:

    Never byte-compile your .emacs file

This way, you save disk space, time, and energy when things don't work
as expected.
Have you ever measured a speed difference between starting Emacs with
.emacs.el and with .emacs.elc ?  I strongly doubt it (unless you write
a lot of real elisp code in your .emacs which is a bad idea in the
first place).
