For a while I've noticed that scrolling has been pretty slow, a couple of
months back it improved quite a bit.  But still, noticably slow.

I decided to elp-instrument some likely candidates:
In a recent version of emacs, built a few weeks ago from cvs trunk:
Function Name                           Call Count  Elapsed Time  Average
Time
======================================  ==========  ============
============
next-line                               944         42.020999999
0.0445137711
smooth-scroll-lines-from-window-bottom  943         18.337000000
0.0194453870


From a version built a long while back, GNU Emacs 23.0.50.1
(i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-10-23 on myhost:
Function Name                           Call Count  Elapsed Time  Average
Time
======================================  ==========  ============
============
next-line                               678         5.5799999999
0.0082300884
smooth-scroll-lines-from-window-bottom  660         0.7630000000
0.0011560606
count-screen-lines                      662         0.6690000000
0.0010105740

Both of those elp-results came from pressing C-n on the same file from top
to bottom.  The file has 671 lines in it.  It appears to me that the more
recent versions of emacs have very slow "next-line"

If I don't load 'smooth-scroll' scrolling speed is quite good.

Thanks

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
f:/devtools/emacs-23.0.60.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
