Re: Is it just me, or did 21.3.50 get a whole lot slower?

Ah, I understand.  Perhaps then I can help you track this difference
down.

It is not so.  I merely noticed the slow down, and then
systematically disabled module after module until the problem
disappeared.  Then I re-enabled and dis-enabled, to confirm that the
inclusion of wide-column.el would manifest the problem.  Once I saw
the entry on post-command-hook, I made an assumption, because
clearing post-command-hook also causes the problem to go away.

I will have to allocate time next week to isolating this problem for
you.
