No. usually running time is 1/2 hour per file, one ediff session rarely lasts longer than 1/2 day. The slow down is max when text regions of more than say 40 lines with lots of white space differences and a few changed words in few lines are shown. It does not matter whether there are 5 or 50 difference regions per file. | 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? No. I log out every day, so max emacs/ediff uptime is 12-14hours. | Finally, did you notice a similar slowdown with other emacs applications? Yes. Tar-mode and the other archive modes (arc, zip) are also slow when extracting archive members for display, compared to 19.34. R'
