Your feedback > is very appreciated. I notice an incredible speed up when loading/fontifying largish modules. One wierd problem I find is if I load two copies of a certain file it becomes develishly slow to do anything, even scrolling. This doesn't seem to happen on all files; not sure if it's size or content related yet. Eg, If I unpack the Module::Build distribution into two different directories, then load copies of Module/Build/Base.pm from each location, the second buffer becomes slow. The original buffer and any others are not affected. If I close both buffers, then open the same file again, the new buffer is also slow-I must exit emacs and restart before I can work with that particular file because of slowdown. This is on Debian (testing) with GNU Emacs 21.4.1. Other than that one problem, the new version is great. Like I said the speedup when loading/fontifying is amazing. Regards, Randy.
