Hello -
Recently I've noticed Emacs sometimes getting _very_ laggy, as in
taking up to a half-second to display the a single character that
I type. M-x profiler-start suggests that garbage-collection is
taking up too much time (see below my signature for example
output). gc-cons-percentage and gc-cons-threshold are at their
default values. I can't figure out how to reproduce this reliably,
but running M-x relint-directory on the Emacs source tree seems to
do a decent job triggering it. My Emacs is built from commit
4ce9c6d0b58bd77bc811d6c1c5caf955a5a0be2f (~ 4 days ago) of the
master branch. How can I go about tracking this down?
Thanks,
Alex

Trying to bisect to find the offending commit would be one way.

Thanks. I noticed there's some activity around gc on master currently.
I'll wait for that to pass before trying this.
I'll note though that I don't see this issue on 26.2.

Unless you happen to set gc-cons-threshold to a large value, that
activity is already over. And in any case, invoking
garbage-collection manually should "fix" the lagging, if it somehow
related to what we are still discussing.

(That was one year ago.)
Any updates here?

No, but the problem seems to have gone away so I'll close this bug.
