No, I don't have any long ediff sessions. Typically, they do not last longer than an hour. And my ediff buffers are small, typically less than 100kb. > Do you see the slowdown regardless of whether you used ediff in > the prior days or it depends on how many times you used ediff > within the same emacs session? This is more difficult to say because I haven't done any bookkeeping yet. But I'll watch these thing more carefully and let you know. What I can say is that I don't use ediff very often. I need it once every two or three days or so (and, as I said, I have short ediff session with small buffers). > Finally, did you notice a similar slowdown with other emacs > applications? Since I upgraded from GNU emacs 20 to 21 it SEEMS to me that emacs in general has slowed down for me. But I haven't been able yet to pin this down. The present bug report on ediff was actually the first example where I could be a little more explicit. Usually, in my emacs sessions I am loading and using a bunch of packages which make it very difficult to pin down the culprit. But there are several things I am trying right now, and I'll keep you posted. Roland
