Re: if both .emacs and .emacs.elc,which one emacs load?

[Niels Freimann]

try it out and you'll never forget to re-compile:

(defun autocompile()
  "compile itself if ~/.emacs"
  (interactive)
  (if (string= (buffer-file-name) (concat default-directory ".emacs"))
      (byte-compile-file (buffer-file-name))))
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'autocompile())
