Well, since emacs stands for Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping [;-)],
have you tried to recompile? (I have no idea what ./configure options
Mandrake used to build the rpm.)
I run XEmacs, and on my Pentium 233 (o/c'd to 266) with 80 Megs,
XEmacs takes about 15 seconds to open up as '/usr/bin/xemacs -f vm',
using 10 Megs resident and 3620 Kb memory shared.
Is your emacs sluggish after opening?
For what are you using emacs? There is a microemacs out on the net,
which has (only?) text editing capabilities. Are you autoloading?
What do you load on startup?
