	My byte compiled .emacs seems to load faster, and probably helps
a bit with various hooks I define in there.  Before XEmacs started
shipping with Gnus 5.4.*, I had computationally expensive loops in my
.emacs to blast over the bad autoloads which got dumped with my emacs,
for example.

	Usually, when I get more than a page of customization for a
particular package, I'll slap those into a separate file and use a
load-hook (or similar) to get them on demand.  So I've got a directory
full of bbdb-dmoore.el, calendar-dmoore.elc, etc.
