:>I played a bit with hdparm utility to tune my HD, and found that
:>enabling DMA allowed me to boost HD read performance from 4Mb/s to
:>11.2 Mb/s (as reported by hdparm -t). Now my emacs loads in about 2

:>with hdparm some more...

Looks more like xemacs would be either asking for too much memory (i.e.
your system has to use swap) or starting a lot of lisp code on start to
me...
