It depends on the purpose of --help: seems it is useful mostly when the user wants to start Emacs from the command line and forgets the syntax of some options. In this case the speed of --help is really important for users. However, when the user writes a shell script or makefile with Emacs invocations then it's better to read the Emacs manual with complete documentation of command line arguments. -- http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
