Helm loading time is high

[rrittwikc]

First of all Hi! and thank you for helm. I really like helm and use it everyday!

I have cloned the helm repo today (thought update it after a long time :) ).

While byte-compiling using make, I noticed the following output line
ad-handle-definition: 'tramp-read-passwd' got redefined
The compilation took around 11 seconds before showing this output line.

After that whenever I am opening emacs, it is taking 12-13 seconds and showing this output line. However if I disable helm, emacs is taking 1-2 seconds.

My emacs version is 24.5.1 I am using fedora 22 64bit KDE.

Sorry for my very bad english!

Not a problem, this what is expected.

It take here actually: 2.798s
So probably a problem on your side.

showing this output line. However if I disable helm, emacs is taking
1-2 seconds.

My emacs is loading in around 3s with a huge .emacs absolutely not
optimized.

Your delay is maybe due to issue #1000 and maybe the compilation too.

Thanks thierryvolpiatto for the reply.

I disable all my other settings and plugins only helm is enabled. But the lag is still there.
So is it the case that the problem is with fedora's or kde's emacs?

Below is my helm settings
;; -------------------------------------------------------------
;; Helm settings

;;(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/plugins/async/")

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/plugins/helm/")

Please read Issue #1000

Closing this because it is probably related to #1000
