| emacs with the -nw option? No X, but colors really do help a lot. An
| it's *much* faster than even the most slimmed-down X version.
Come to think of it, I've been wondering *why* this is so. Over a
slow but still reasonable connection, things that should not affect
screen updating at all also take 4 -- 10 times as long under X as
with -nw. For example, I timed the loading of my .emacs, and what
usually takes 4-5 seconds takes 30 seconds under X when running over
the slow line. Hardly any screen updating takes place during this
process.
Can anyone explain this? Is it only me??
