compiling init.el

What is the general opinion about byte-compiling init.el? Do most people do it? Not do it? My general policy is to byte compile it, but I'll remove the .elc when I'm dinking around with it to eliminate error messages about their being out of sync. But when I'm done, then I'll byte-compile it again. Actually, my init is in large part a control file that loads also the files initd, initl, initm, and inito. I write a function to byte-compile all my startups at once. Of course, I understand that one should not byte-compile custom.el because the customization software doesn't byte-compile it, and if someone byte-compiled it, later option changes would produce a .el file that's out of sync with its .elc. I doubt there would be much performance improvement from doing so anyhow. -- Lynn David Newton Columbus, Ohio neologisticsediting.com lynndavidnewton.com _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
