  2) If the connection is very slow, you might also want to consider
!    switching off scroll bars, menu bar, and tool bar.  This can be

!    your .emacs file:
!
!    (scroll-bar-mode -1)
!    (menu-bar-mode -1)
!    (tool-bar-mode -1)
!
!    Or for quicker startup, with these X resources in your .Xdefaults
!    file:
!
!    Emacs.verticalScrollBars: off
!    Emacs.menuBar: off
!    Emacs.toolBar: off
