neat little emacs trick

hello all:
I noticed my init files were taking a while to load (probably partially 
because of emacspeak), so, I started lookinng at ways to speed it up.
I stumbled on emacs server, and then in #emacs we worked out a solution. 
Basically:
alias emacs="emacsclient -nw -a ''"
If there's no emacs server running, it spawns it first. Then you can 
just put something like that in your script, and then direct $EDITOR to 
that script in ~/bin and you're set if you wanted emacs for other stuff too.
HTH,
