I'm not sure if this is a problem with emacs or CentOS, but I noticed that both emacs 21 and 22 display the most bizarre behavior on CentOS. On Debian, emacs 21.4.1 and emacs 22.3.1 take about 0.2s to load (with --eval '(kill-emacs)') and on CentOS, the same versions both take 65.0s to load.

Any reason?

Check etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p).  My guess is that you're
hitting the problem quoted below,

*** Emacs startup on GNU/Linux systems (and possibly other systems) is slow.

This can happen if the system is misconfigured and Emacs can't get the
full qualified domain name, FQDN.  You should have your FQDN in the
/etc/hosts file, something like this:

127.0.0.1	localhost
129.187.137.82	nuc04.t30.physik.tu-muenchen.de	nuc04

The way to set this up may vary on non-GNU systems.

Thanks for the report. Your report was against an old version of Emacs,
and lacks the information necessary for us to investigate it.
The latest version is 23.3. Please open new reports for any issues you
have with the new version.
