Kyle,
	you are right for sure.  I agree about the speed issue.  In
fact, I hesitate to tell XEmacs mantainers to change code just because I 
like it a certain way.  The whole point of having a .emacs file to me is 
doing things your way.  It's only when you get religious that you should 
suggest that a change be made.  "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
basically.  In fact, if I could figure out how to do this change w/
defadvice, I would have posted the advice and NOT suggested the change.
If people want it, then they can do it themselves.  But with files.el,
even hacking the source isn't good enuf since it's dumped w/ the
binary.  Hail XEmacs b/c I can easily make this change w/o waiting for
the mantainers to make the change.  I'm *only* interested in what's best 
for XEmacs.  This is a small but change code-wise, but a big change
behaviorally, and functionally, so it might be nice if...

*other people responded to this thread*

(so far, it's basically just been me Hrvoje and Kyle)
