That you should know from simple observation. it seems that when things get slow, everything gets slow.. it seems to take emacs a minute to even recognize a C-n ... > > Looking at the code in one of those user-level operations might lead > you pretty directly to the primitive that gets slow. i shall look into this .. and next time i get back on this issue, will get back with somethign concrete and more details. however, from more observatinos i have made in the last 3 days, i am still unsure that it is emacs (rather than my connection) that gets slow.. so the next time i get back, it shall be something concrete. Thanks for caring about this issue.. i had expected more of a response like: "Well, tough luck, if you intern a million symbols, what else do you expect? Go start a new fresh emacs!" :) DG --
