I'd tend to agree. I can't think of any reason the user would care about those messages. They're much like "garbage collecting" messages, if you ask me. > The fontification messages cause noticeable slowdowns on OS X[1] in > certain situations (e.g. viewing src code blocks in org-mode with > `org-src-fontify-natively' turned on). Sounds like a bug that needs fixing, rather than a reason to change the default of font-lock-verbose. > I suspect that the sorts of users who might appreciate the output > would be able to turn the variable on. Agreed. Stefan
