Hi, again,

Thank you again for your detailed explanation!

I'm utterly confused!  I thought the starting point of our discussion was

If the default value of `TeX-parse-self' is t, some emacs users who don't
use AUCTeX will suffer from extra slow down due to the parsing of some
directory tree.


Is the above statement correct or not?

Assuming that it is correct, I guess the reason for the objection to the
default value of TeX-parse-self is


   1. If the system administrator elects to install emacs with AUCTeX
   enabled, and
   2. if the default value of `TeX-parse-self' is t,
   3. all emacs users will experience slow down when emacs is launched
   because of the parsing of some elisp files which wouldn't be parsed if
   TeX-parse-self weren't set.


So, I guess those elisp files in item 3 above are big ones.

Cheers,
Ryo
