emacs -Q -l idlwave

does some work to set up the `idlwave-routines' variable. Is this an
issue? It doesn't change any aspect of Emacs behaviour, it's just
(verbosely) initializing so that it can start up faster when actually
needed.

It only starts doing it if Emacs is idle for
`idlwave-init-rinfo-when-idle-after' seconds (default 10). Change this
variable to 0 and it won't do anything until the information is
actually needed.
