That is a pretty old version of emacs 23 dev tree. Emacs 23.1 is out now and I'd recommend upgrading to it and see if the problem still exists. As 23.0.91 was a dev snapshot and as it is quie a few months old, it is likely that it is some transient problem that was fixed in later versions. I'm currently running 23.1.50 and there are no speed issues I've noticed. Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
