Good catch. We're using roaming profiles here, so my home dir is on
some
network drive. If I re-run the test on a local disc, I get the
following:

That is, no time difference. But why does the network drive affect
only
emacs and not touch?
The primary purpose of touch is to set the file's timestamp to that of
the local computer. Emacs is just creating a file, so the timestamp is
that of the computer that hosts the file, in this case, the server.

Thanks for your explanation. Things like that are easier to deal with if
I understand what's going on.
