It is an order of magnitude slower than on GNU/Linux. For example, if you run ispell-buffer you will see it takes seconds to move from current word to the next misspelled word while in GNU/Linux it is also instant. If you have (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell), then report-emacs-bug will take about 10 seconds to enter the mail buffer. My feeling is the communication between emacs on OSX(and possibly windows) and external tools is extremely slow. Is there anyone seeing these problems? Any workaround? Best, Leo
