The server/client scheme is also convenient on machines which labor
under high loads, regardless of whether you're using a window system.
With a load of 25, you could have a quick lunch while emacs starts up.
:-)  I've had luck with something along the following scheme, under
BSD/SunOS with 18.49 on a glass tty:

  start an emacs server and suspend it
  define EDITOR to client
  run an application which runs $EDITOR
  suspend application
  continue server
  C-x # away the buffers that need it
  suspend server
  continue application

Hmmm.  I wonder how difficult it would be to make things so that
emacsclient automatically suspends it's parent process and continues
the server emacs...  Any ideas?
