On Emacs 20, it finishes very quickly. Emacs 22 has a lot more options, of course, and more faces and buttons and such, but it still feels like things are less efficient now. In emacs -Q, there are 4698 lines in the buffer in Emacs 22; in Emacs 20, there are 2333 lines (about half). But Emacs 22 takes *far* longer than twice as long. [Why would anyone want to customize all options? I don't know, but you might want to search among option values or something. If you just want descriptions, `apropos-variable' is of course better (too bad the name doesn't say "option"). `edit-options' will give you values too, but Emacs spits a nasty obsoletion message at you (forgetting to put `options' in quotes, BTW).]
