Debian's mule-ucs is available at: I doubt it's any slower than before, apart from loading un-define. What's the evidence? The only relevant patches in Debian 0.84-11, which appears to be the current package version, are one of mine and one of Toby Speight's which probably slows decoding if anything. (It's unfortunate for various reasons that the origin of patches doesn't get recorded.) > > > > > > > > http://packages.debian.org/mule-ucs > > > > > > This is interesting, since some people already tried to debug that > > > without success.

I don't know what that refers to. I explained the problem on emacs-devel (I think) when it was first raised, as well as when I posted the patch. I made the bug fix that avoided Mule-UCS-induced lossage. You could have more success with the loading speed by not defining any of the coding systems you don't use. If that's not good enough, handa had a suggestion for a different change to `register-char-codings', but I seem to remember it was somewhat incompatible. > The message above says that the problem has been fixed.

Otherwise, perhaps it's just a case of things working better without my name on. :-/. Non-CJK users would probably do better for simply editing Unicode to use the ucs-tables.el and modified utf-8.el I advertised recently. CJK users could contribute to improving its CJK support, but that requires the CCL patch to the Emacs core.
