I think the delays are from emacspeak-setup.el, rather than my init files. Do people >generally byte-compile those, as well? Yes, that's why Emacspeak has a makefile. I always byte-compile my Emacs init file, ~/.emacs.d/init.el as it is growing rather long now. This isn't the right list for an Emacs discussion but... I hope the above helps anyway.
