I realize this will not be super-scientific: right now I just don't have the information to be more specific. If no one has any ideas I'll try to do better. I'm using GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (GTK) on my GNU/Linux Mint 15 desktop from this PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cassou/emacs/ubuntu (quantal). The way I start it is that I invoke "emacs --daemon", then I use emacsclient to start various different frames. I typically have two graphical frames, at least, on my desktop at work. Then I go home and when I work from home I usually create an xterm on my home system, then ssh to my work system and run "emacsclient -nw" to get a TTY frame (all talking to the same Emacs daemon) and work from there. I don't close down the remote Emacs sessions when I come back to work, I leave it running. When I first start things up, everything works fine and all is goodness. I can't be specific about exactly when it happens or what causes it, but after some time (a day or so at least) my Emacs windows start to be unbearably slow especially when I have select mode enabled. It's a bit jerky without select mode, but when I use C-SPC to start select then it will literally take a few seconds to even use C-n a few times (without requiring scrolling the buffer). Quite frustrating. Then I kill the Emacs daemon and restart it and recreate my frames and it works fine again. I thought it might be related to the remote session using "emacs -nw" so I've tried not been doing that (using a separate "emacs" rather than "emacsclient", which is annoying) but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. I can't say exactly when this started, but I'm used to leaving my Emacs sessions running for weeks at a time without restarting and I'm sure I would have noticed it if it had always been happening. I really don't know WHAT is going on or how to quantify this. I was wondering if anyone else had seen anything like it or has any thoughts. I'll try to pay more attention in the meantime.
