Hi,

I'm using Emacs 25.1 compiled with MinGW64 and I got this profiling report:

The buffer-stale--default-function worries me: how could it use so much
time ?
Moreover, it is an elisp function, so why the profiler doesn't report about
the
inner functions?

Thanks for any clue,

Fabrice

Good questions.  I think you'd need to instrument the code to try and
get more detailed info in order to figure that out.

Seeing how many times it's called might give a bit more of a clue?
