After pressing "reply" to compose this e-mail, I went to the first line of the message and typed "C-n" four times. I had my co-worker time the pause on his stopwatch. It took 5 wall-clock seconds for the cursor to move. Yes, I have a lot of packages loaded, but realize that on the same machine, 21.2 does not pause at all. My time is limited this year to work on the problem, but maybe someone who knows the C sources better would be willing to login to IRC and help me track things down? My typing has been a full sentence behind me while writing this letter. John
