I only loaded a file of 518k, a C-file of about 10000 lines. I tried
now and it takes about 5 seconds to load in 22.2, actually 6 seconds
if I don't use reverse video (which I normally use). The 22.2.91
version takes less than 1 second.

OK, so this is only a few seconds difference. Now I concatenated the
file I had to get a larger C-file of 2 MB:
2.22: 17 seconds
2.22.91: 0.8 seconds
I loaded the file first, then killed the buffer and then I timed the
loading.
With 2.22.91 I get another problem though, with SLIME:
---
An error has occurred while loading `e:/home/rfo/.emacs':
Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (&optional contribs) Setup Emacs so
that lisp-mode buffers always use SLIME.
CONTRIBS is a list of contrib packages to load. (when (member (quote
lisp-mode) slime-lisp-modes) (add-hook (quote lisp-mode-hook) (quote
slime-lisp-mode-hook))) (when contribs (add-to-list (quote load-path)
(expand-file-name contrib slime-path)) (dolist (c contribs) (require
c) (let ((init (intern (format %s-init c)))) (when (fboundp init)
(funcall init)))))), 2

This does not happen in 21.3 or 22.2.
