One data point from me: When I foll the recipe and then insert the
current primary selection into a different Emacs instance, I get a
column of 2500 "x"s inserted. The recipe had 200,000 lines of "x"s.
That means, at least using my settings, what Emacs does in this extreme
case seems to be a waste of time because 99% of the selection is thrown
away by X or whatever.
Michael.
