We've discussed it a year ago. file-remote-p is also used for implementation dependent decisions; what we need is something like "file-access-is-slow-p", which could also be true even for "local" files, if they are mounted, or because they are extremely HUGE. Anyway, this is another discussion. I wanted to know whether I could change autorevert.el; I haven't seen objections until now :-) > Stefan Best regards, Michael.
