Subject: Suggestion: default value of `font-lock-verbose' should be nil
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:30:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1bp3o3930.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I suggest changing the default value of `font-lock-verbose' to nil. 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). I suspect that the sorts of users
who might appreciate the output would be able to turn the variable on.
Thanks,
Dan
