I would very much like someone to step up as our "performance czar", and to create a benchmarking suite to run alongside our test suite, to establish a baseline for operations which should always be quick in Emacs. Efficiency matters a lot to me, although at the moment it falls because correctness and not crashing. But I'd like to improve in this area as well over time. =2D-=20 John Wiegley GPG fingerprint =3D 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJWabLgAAoJEMFE2PTxn+YwSjkL/05a70ZWbhgOKKC8w04LFpJG YnAmZasCjzdKEE9NVPj4c7tLqtIrngqLOqA2msTMhLIMhf10TtRW7CvfgpeVRc08 Z2H+9JNkZN1ufyZTU8kF+QAG0NzMLDztO79V46g0nvBvCHUt7VPCo7VgCN3LZOEx f7zXmz674rd5j7HUV6zUxKjTZAvwvT4iEGp4eoerciCyyj5AOxJ+S4QpIK6zi3V1 yvAUK9gOSglJ6CJMweQkcWPPMJ3JRF/yEXzVSDaV8r2AmfrNcqrR3DH9aT8i33Fb N/hhfuRC5KtReyMvq4balgdsqJKYa7B1mctQifq9C+5kiof4wy+A01aUrqqfk4i+ cyPHPE0vKL/9Q8dc8Ikrju5ARktWL2nwoglXvNepULFQunumHUY/IJiCBT7EtQdH +ftDBkBS0SmxWnAwMRjBU1j2cgn39XnX9esk6pB8GiTuwXEtZdcT+NC1T00i+oe8 IfIms/BQUh/wQ5YbdZLwqqYCbuLhb7z82tkE/IoAAw== =yfNs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
