[slime-devel] Question about decoupling load-server and start-server in slime-init-command

Hi, I have a slow system where launching slime (current CVS version) takes several seconds. Wishing to cut down the initialization time, I dumped a sbcl core with swank preloaded but slime didn't start faster because swank was being reloaded. To avoid this, I modified slime-init-command and now slime starts lightning fast. There's a comment before slime-init-command saying: ;; XXX load-server & start-server used to be separated. maybe that was better. Why were the two functionalities merged? I definitely think it was better. Perhaps I missed an obvious way to achieve the same goal? Thanks, -- Juan M. Bello Rivas http://superadditive.com
