I created a Git repository for the folder with my Emacs text files, then installed git.el and Magit.

Emacs seems to have slowed down a lot, and I keep seeing the message loading vc-git...done in the minibuffer.

Am I right in thinking that interacting with Git is what's slowing down Emacs?

I don't actually need to use Emacs to interact with Git, I usually just use GitHub anyway. I removed references to git.el and magit.el from my .emacs file, but I'm still getting the message.

How do I disable vc-git in Emacs so I can work quickly again?

I keep this in my .emacs:

(setq vc-handled-backends ())

I'm sure there's a more elegant way to disable vc-git specifically, but since I never use version control through Emacs, it works for me.
