I'm on an i5 first gen and when it opens it immediately pegs one of my
cores to 100% -- and pretty much stays that way, making Emacs very, very
slow and bogged down. The file is ~ 20,000 lines and weighs under 1 mg, so,
yeah, it shouldn't be a problem. Starting with no-init does clear up the
issue; works fine.

Now, what in my init would be causing this incompatibility? I got a
ready-made .emacs.d from "Clojure for the Brrave and True." Here's what
I've got installed.

Does anyone have an orgmode-friendly init they could point me at?
